Introduce autovacuum_vacuum_max_threshold.

Browse Source 
One way autovacuum chooses tables to vacuum is by comparing the
number of updated or deleted tuples with a value calculated using
autovacuum_vacuum_threshold and autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor.
The threshold specifies the base value for comparison, and the
scale factor specifies the fraction of the table size to add to it.
This strategy ensures that smaller tables are vacuumed after fewer
updates/deletes than larger tables, which is reasonable in many
cases but can result in infrequent vacuums on very large tables.
This is undesirable for a couple of reasons, such as very large
tables incurring a huge amount of bloat between vacuums.

This new parameter provides a way to set a limit on the value
calculated with autovacuum_vacuum_threshold and
autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor so that very large tables are
vacuumed more frequently.  By default, it is set to 100,000,000
tuples, but it can be disabled by setting it to -1.  It can also be
adjusted for individual tables by changing storage parameters.
