Thinking about this a little more, the biggest problem I have with
this feature is that it makes autovacuum_enabled mean two different
things depending on context. But maybe we should change the name of
the reloption to "autovacuum" and have three values for it:
default|enabled|disabled.

Then we could add a GUC called autovacuum_by_default = on|off, and we
could later insert per-schema or per-database or per-table-group
defaults without introducing any backwards-incompatibility (default
would still mean default, though the default might come from a
different source).
