Alvaro Herrera f54106f77e Fix full-table-vacuum request mechanism for MultiXactIds
While autovacuum dutifully launched anti-multixact-wraparound vacuums
when the multixact "age" was reached, the vacuum code was not aware that
it needed to make them be full table vacuums.  As the resulting
partial-table vacuums aren't capable of actually increasing relminmxid,
autovacuum continued to launch anti-wraparound vacuums that didn't have
the intended effect, until age of relfrozenxid caused the vacuum to
finally be a full table one via vacuum_freeze_table_age.

To fix, introduce logic for multixacts similar to that for plain
TransactionIds, using the same GUCs.

Backpatch to 9.3, where permanent MultiXactIds were introduced.

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:

	http://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.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
