Hmm. With this patch, if I do "vacuumdb -f" it will not vacuum the
special system catalogs that can only be vacuumed with INPLACE, correct?
If that's correct, I wonder whether it would be good to do a regular
not-inplace VF for most relations, and do INPLACE for those catalogs.
That way, if a sysadmin has a vacuumdb -f in crontab, it will continue
to do what he expects.

Maybe this is not important if Simon is able to get inplace working for
all catalogs.
