Maybe I failed to follow your point here... Are you suggesting it's worth
mentioning that n_ins_since_vacuum doesn't count VACUUM FULL, to help
avoid potential user confusion? If so, since n_ins_since_vacuum was
introduced in v13, we'd need to backpatch that documentation change to v13?

As for total_vacuum_time, since it's new in v18, I'd like to apply
the proposed change there.
