does the following options satisfy everyone:

autovacuum_messages=
none silent (nothing output at LOG level)
database we'd output a LOG message processing database <name>
table we'd output a LOG message for each table we actually vacuum /
analyze
verbose we'd add the verbose flag to each command

the lower levels would include the upper (I.E. verbose implies table +
database).

If this is acceptable, I'm going to start working on the code to
implement it.
