Subject: [PATCH v30] Add parallel vacuum worker usage to VACUUM (VERBOSE) and
 autovacuum logs.

This commit adds both the number of parallel workers planned and the
number of parallel workers actually launched to the output of
VACUUM (VERBOSE) and autovacuum logs.

Previously, this information was only reported as an INFO message
during VACUUM (VERBOSE), which meant it was not included in autovacuum
logs in practice. Although autovacuum does not yet support parallel
vacuum, a subsequent patch will enable it and utilize these logs in
its regression tests. This change also improves observability by
making it easier to verify if parallel vacuum is utilizing the
expected number of workers.
