Add a generic command progress reporting facility.
Using this facility, any utility command can report the target relation
upon which it is operating, if there is one, and up to 10 64-bit
counters; the intent of this is that users should be able to figure out
what a utility command is doing without having to resort to ugly hacks
like attaching strace to a backend.
As a demonstration, this adds very crude reporting to lazy vacuum; we
just report the target relation and nothing else. A forthcoming patch
will make VACUUM report a bunch of additional data that will make this
much more interesting. But this gets the basic framework in place.
