vacuumdb: Fix --missing-stats-only with virtual generated columns.

Statistics aren't created for virtual generated columns, so
"vacuumdb --missing-stats-only" always chooses to analyze tables
that have them.  To fix, modify vacuumdb's query for retrieving
relations that are missing statistics to exclude those columns.

Oversight in commit edba754f05.
