 * We also estimate the total numbers of live and dead rows in the table,

 *
 * The returned list of tuples is in order by physical position in the table.
 * (We will rely on this later to derive correlation estimates.)
 *
 * As of May 2004 we use a new two-stage method:  Stage one selects up
 * to targrows random blocks (or all blocks, if there aren't so many).
 * Stage two scans these blocks and uses the Vitter algorithm to create
 * a random sample of targrows rows (or less, if there are less in the
 * sample of blocks).  The two stages are executed simultaneously: each
 * block is processed as soon as stage one returns its number and while
 * the rows are read stage two controls which ones are to be inserted
 * into the sample.
 *
 * Although every row has an equal chance of ending up in the final
 * sample, this sampling method is not perfect: not every possible
 * sample has an equal chance of being selected.  For large relations
 * the number of different blocks represented by the sample tends to be
 * too small.  We can live with that for now.  Improvements are welcome.
 *
 * An important property of this sampling method is that because we do
 * look at a statistically unbiased set of blocks, we should get
 * unbiased estimates of the average numbers of live and dead rows per
 * block.  The previous sampling method put too much credence in the row
 * density near the start of the table.

 *      been analyzed.  The pg_class values are updated by VACUUM, not here.
 *
 *      pg_statistic rows are just added or updated normally.  This means
 *      that pg_statistic will probably contain some deleted rows at the
 *      completion of a vacuum cycle, unless it happens to get vacuumed last.
 *
 *      To keep things simple, we punt for pg_statistic, and don't try
 *      to compute or store rows for pg_statistic itself in pg_statistic.
 *      This could possibly be made to work, but it's not worth the trouble.
 *      Note analyze_rel() has seen to it that we won't come here when
 *      vacuuming pg_statistic itself.
 *
 *      Note: there would be a race condition here if two backends could
 *      ANALYZE the same table concurrently.  Presently, we lock that out
 *      by taking a self-exclusive lock on the relation in analyze_rel().
