These were discussed in three different sections of the manual, which unsurprisingly had diverged over time; and the descriptions of individual variables lacked stylistic consistency even within each section (and frequently weren't in very good English anyway). Clean up the mess, and remove some of the redundant information in hopes that future additions will be less likely to re-introduce inconsistency. For instance I see no need for maintenance.sgml to include its very own list of all the autovacuum storage parameters, especially since that list was already incomplete.
