Add the "recheck" logic to autovacuum worker code.  The worker first builds
its table list and then rechecks pgstat before vacuuming each table to
verify that no one has vacuumed the table in the meantime.

vacuum a table that a user has vacuumed manually after the worker started.
When support for multiple autovacuum workers is introduced, this will reduce
the probability of simultaneous workers on the same database doing redundant
work.
