I have pushed the InvalidBucket changes.

The use of InvalidBlockNumber with vac_update_relstats() looks a bit 
fishy to me.  We are using in the same call 0 as the default for 
num_all_visible_pages, and we generally elsewhere also use 0 as the 
starting value for relpages, so it's not clear to me why it should be -1 
or InvalidBlockNumber here.  I'd rather leave it "slightly wrong" for 
now so it can be checked again.
