Made the comment less verbose but in the same spirit as the above.

removed av_count and pg_stat_user_tables query, but hardened the
regexp a bit to ensure that the parallel logging is for the test_autovac
table. It gives the same assurance as counting pg_stat_user_tables
and will be better if we add another parallel test table in the future.
