Avoid division-by-zero when calculating autovacuum MXID score.

In some cases, effective_multixact_freeze_max_age can be 0, which
presents a division-by-zero hazard for the multixact ID age score
calculation.  To fix, bump it to 1 in that case so that we use the
multixact ID age as the score.  While at it, also document that
this component score scales due to high multixact member space
usage.
