doc: Adjust documentation for vacuumdb --missing-stats-only.

The sentence in question gave readers the impression that vacuumdb
removes statistics for a period of time while analyzing, but it's
actually meant to convey that --analyze-in-stages temporarily
replaces existing statistics with ones generated with lower
statistics targets.
