I'm pretty sure InitPostgres skips a bunch of stuff if
IsAutoVacuumLauncherProcess(). If you just want to make an environment
equivalent to that process's, maybe those tests should be replaced with
"if (dbname == NULL)". But the claim that you have access to shared
catalogs in this state is still wrong.
