Maybe what we need is to consider table truncation as a separate
activity from vacuuming.  Then autovacuum could invoke it without having
to do a full-blown vacuum.  For this to work, I guess we would like to
separately store the status of the back-scan in pgstat somehow (I think
a boolean flag suffices: "were we able to truncate all pages that
appeared to be empty?")
