doc: Clarify that total_vacuum_time excludes VACUUM FULL.

The last_vacuum and vacuum_count fields in pg_stat_all_tables already
state that they do not include VACUUM FULL. However, total_vacuum_time,
which also excludes VACUUM FULL, did not mention this. This could
mislead users into thinking VACUUM FULL time is included.

To address this, this commit updates the documentation for
pg_stat_all_tables to explicitly state that total_vacuum_time does not
count VACUUM FULL.

Back-patched to v18, where total_vacuum_time was introduced.

Additionally, this commit clarifies that n_ins_since_vacuum also
excludes VACUUM FULL. Although n_ins_since_vacuum was added in v13,
we are not back-patching this change to stable branches, as it is
a documentation improvement, not a bug fix.
