pgsql: Remove postmaster.c's check that NBuffers is at least twice - Mailing list pgsql-committers

Log Message:
-----------
Remove postmaster.c's check that NBuffers is at least twice MaxBackends.
With the addition of multiple autovacuum workers, our choices were to delete
the check, document the interaction with autovacuum_max_workers, or complicate
the check to try to hide that interaction.  Since this restriction has never
been adequate to ensure backends can't run out of pinnable buffers, it doesn't
really have enough excuse to live to justify the second or third choices.
Per discussion of a complaint from Andreas Kling (see also bug #3888).

This commit also removes several documentation references to this restriction,
but I'm not sure I got them all.
