Increase default maintenance_io_concurrency to 16

Browse Source 
Since its introduction in fc34b0d9de, the default
maintenance_io_concurrency has been larger than the default
effective_io_concurrency. maintenance_io_concurrency primarily
controlled prefetching done on behalf of the whole system, for
operations like recovery. Therefore it makes sense for it to have a
value equal to or greater than effective_io_concurrency, which controls
I/O concurrency for reading a relation in a bitmap heap scan.

ff79b5b2ab increased effective_io_concurrency to 16, so we'll increase
maintenance_io_concurrency as well. For now, though, we'll keep the
defaults of effective_io_concurrency and maintenance_io_concurrency
equal to one another (16).

On fast, high IOPs systems, significantly higher values of
maintenance_io_concurrency are observably beneficial [1]. However, such
values would flood low IOPs systems and increase overall system I/O
latency.

It is worth mentioning that since 9256822608 and c3e775e608,
maintenance_io_concurrency also controls the I/O concurrency of each
vacuum worker. Since many autovacuum workers may be simultaneously
issuing I/Os, we want to keep maintenance_io_concurrency appropriately
conservative.
