Thread: pgsql: vacuumdb: Add option for analyzing only relations missing stats.

vacuumdb: Add option for analyzing only relations missing stats.

This commit adds a new --missing-only option that can be used in
conjunction with --analyze-only and --analyze-in-stages.  When this
option is specified, vacuumdb will generate ANALYZE commands for a
relation if it is missing any statistics it should ordinarily have.
For example, if a table has statistics for one column but not
another, we will analyze the whole table.  A similar principle
applies to extended statistics, expression indexes, and table
inheritance.

My apologies, I didn't realize I had applied this to master branch
when reviewing it, will revert.
