autovacuum: handle analyze for partitioned tables

Previously, autovacuum would completely ignore partitioned tables, which
is not good regarding analyze -- failing to analyze those tables means
poor plans may be chosen.  Make autovacuum aware of those tables by
propagating "changes since analyze" counts from the leaf partitions up
the partitioning hierarchy.

This also introduces necessary reloptions support for partitioned tables
(autovacuum_enabled, autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor,
autovacuum_analyze_threshold).  It's unclear how best to document this
aspect.
