doc: Clarify where autovacuum_max_parallel_workers can be set

The description of autovacuum_max_parallel_workers did not specify
where it can be set or how it relates to the per-table
autovacuum_parallel_workers storage parameter.

Clarify that it can be set only in postgresql.conf or on the server
command line, and that the limit can be reduced for individual tables.
Add a link to the autovacuum_parallel_workers storage parameter.

Backpatch to v19, where parallel autovacuum was introduced.
