This allows vacuum to target specific pages for possible free space
without requiring a sequential scan.
* Create a bitmap of pages that need vacuuming
Instead of sequentially scanning the entire table, have the background
writer or some other process record pages that have expired rows, then
VACUUM can look at just those pages rather than the entire table. In
the event of a system crash, the bitmap would probably be invalidated.
* Auto-vacuum
o Move into the backend code
o Scan the buffer cache to find free space or use background writer
