Actually, I had misunderstood where you were proposing to put this.
I believe that where you have it, the elapsed-time indication will
only cover the VACUUM step; so it's not relevant to this code whether
an ANALYZE would happen too.

My suggestion is that you add similar but independent logging to
analyze.c, controlled by the same min-duration variable.  So the
log output would treat autovac and autoanalyze as two independently
loggable operations.  I don't think there's much to print about
an autoanalyze except its runtime ... well, maybe you could print
the numbers of rows sampled and estimated, but I dunno if it matters.
The point of doing it is just to be able to track what the heck
autovacuum is doing ...
