David Rowley 44ca43e36c Doc: Fix misleading statement about VACUUM memory limits
In ec34040af I added a mention that there was no point in setting
maintenance_work_limit to anything higher than 1GB for vacuum, but that
was incorrect as ginInsertCleanup() also looks at what
maintenance_work_mem is set to during VACUUM and that's not limited to
1GB.

Here I attempt to make it more clear that the limitation is only around
the number of dead tuple identifiers that we can collect during VACUUM.

I've also added a note to autovacuum_work_mem to mention this limitation.
I didn't do that in ec34040af as I'd had some wrong-headed ideas about
just limiting the maximum value for that GUC to 1GB.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.
