Peter Geoghegan 12b5ade902 Update high level vacuumlazy.c comments.
Update vacuumlazy.c file header comments (as well as comments above the
lazy_scan_heap function) that were largely written before the
introduction of the HOT optimization, when lazy_scan_heap did far less,
and didn't actually prune during its initial heap pass.

Since lazy_scan_heap now outsources far more work to lower level
functions, it makes sense to introduce the function by talking about the
high level invariant that dictates the order in which each phase takes
place.  Also deemphasize the case where we run out of memory for TIDs,
since delaying that discussion makes it easier to talk about issues of
central importance.

Finally, remove discussion of parallel VACUUM from header comments.
These don't add much, and are in the wrong place.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
