Subject: [PATCH v18 1/2] Add parallel option to VACUUM command

In parallel vacuum, we perform both index vacuum and cleanup vacuum
with parallel workers. Indivisual indexes are processed by one vacuum
process. Therefore parallel vacuum can be used when the table has more
than one index.

Parallel vacuum can be performed by specifying like
VACUUM (PARALLEL 2) tbl, meaning that performing vacuum with 2
parallel worker processes. Specifying only PARALLEL means that the
degree of parallalism will be determined based on the number of
indexes the table has.

The parallel vacuum degree is limited by both the number of
indexes the table has and max_parallel_maintenance_workers.
