Perhaps we can have autovacuum workers decide on a mode to use at
startup (or launcher decides for them), and use different prioritization
heuristics depending on the mode. For instance if we're past max freeze
age for any tables then we know we have to first vacuum tables with
higher MXID ages regardless of size considerations, but if there's at
least one worker in that mode then we use the mode where smaller
high-churn tables go first.
