With HOT, we tend to hover around the nearly-full state, so this seems
like it will trigger repeatedly.
Is it possible that we could put an extra field onto a heap_clean record
to show remaining space. We would use it only for VACUUMs, not HOT, just
as we do now.
Probably good idea to make a list of user cases and say what we do in
eahc case. e.g. COPY, other bulk ops, HOT etc..
I wonder if there is merit in having an XLogInsertMulti() which inserts
multiple records in a batch as a way of reducing WALInsertLock traffic.
It might be possible to piggyback FSM records onto the main heap
changes.
