Except if I am missing something, this is not a problem for a normal
backend, for example with one using a `SELECT injection_points_run()`.

I am honestly not sure if this is worth complicating the sigjmp path
of the autovacuum worker just for the sake of this test. It seems to
me that it would be simple enough to move the injection point
autovacuum-worker-start within the transaction block a few lines down
in do_autovacuum(), no?
