The GUC autovacuum_work_mem is beside other autovacuum GUCs, not other
RESOURCES_MEM GUCs. track_activity_query_size is beside GUCs that
relate to logging, and yet is also a RESOURCES_MEM GUC. So, neither of
these GUCs would be better placed beside the things that we think of
as RESOURCES_MEM GUCs, such as work_mem. In short, the existing
ordering isn't really so arbitrary.
