Thank you for taking time to review this patch.
Attached latest v14 patch.
v14 patch is changed so that I don't change file name of visibilitymap
to "vfm", and contains some bug fix.

Fixed.

Fixed.

The relallfrozen would be useful for user to estimate time to vacuum
freeze or anti-wrapping vacuum before being done them actually.
(Also this value is used on regression test.)
But this information is not used on planning like relallvisible, so it
would be good to move this information to another system view like
pg_stat_*_tables.

Fixed.
