But autovacuum is still manufacturing a VacuumStmt by hand. If we want

ExecVacuum(VacuumStmt, params) function which is called from
standard_ProcessUtility and does just vacuum(rel, relid, params).
Autovacuum on the other hand can call vacuum() without having to
construct the parse node.
Why would we want to get rid of that? A struct is a handy and legible
way to pass a pile of parameters. I doubt it would be an improvement for
vacuum() to grow a long list of separate parameters.
We're not exactly getting rid of it; Thomas' patch adds a second struct
that deals with detailed vacuum parameters that are not actually present
in VacuumStmt. These are things that are specific to autovac but not
manual VACUUM. But the patch in it's current form still have autovac
building a somewhat bogus VacuumStmt.
What's being proposed is to expose VacuumStmt (which only makes sense
for VACUUM) only where it's needed, and use VacuumParams everywhere
else. In particular, this means autovac will just deal with VacuumParams
and will no longer build a fake VacuumStmt.
