Fix typo in freeze_table_age implementation

The original code used freeze_min_age instead of freeze_table_age. The
main consequence of this mistake is that lowering freeze_min_age would
cause full-table scans to occur much more frequently, which causes
serious issues because the number of writes required is much larger.
That feature (freeze_min_age) is supposed to affect only how soon tuples
are frozen; some pages should still be skipped due to the visibility
map.

Backpatch to 8.4, where the freeze_table_age feature was introduced.
