Definitely not while the server is running... For VMs a good way would
be to use pg_visibility's pg_truncate_visibility_map(), but only for
9.6~. For FSM there is no real solution, and actually a
pg_truncate_fsm would prove to be useful here. So users would need to
stop once the server if there are corrupted VMs or FSMs, delete them
manually, and then run VACUUM to rebuild them.
