PgStat_StatTabEntry and AutoVacOpts structs were leaked until the end of the autovacuum worker's run, which is bad news if there are a lot of relations in the database. Note: pfree'ing the PgStat_StatTabEntry structs here seems a bit risky, because pgstat_fetch_stat_tabentry_ext does not guarantee anything about whether its result is long-lived. It appears okay so long as autovacuum forces PGSTAT_FETCH_CONSISTENCY_NONE, but I think that API could use a re-think. Also ensure that the VacuumRelation structure passed to vacuum() is in recoverable storage. Back-patch to v15 where we started to manage table statistics this way. (The AutoVacOpts leakage is probably older, but I'm not excited enough to worry about just that part.)
