I've just tested this, the result isn't great as it creates an
inconsistent output

"test_partition_1": scanned 5 of 5 pages, containing 999 live tuples
and 0 dead tuples; 999 rows in sample, 999 estimated total rows

and 0 dead tuples; 1000 rows in sample, 1000 estimated total rows

Maybe the best approach is to always use the compact form?

I've updated the patchset with those changes. 0004 introduces the
StringInfo logbuf so we can output logs as a single log and during
ANALYZE VERBOSE while using the compact form.
