Further adjust guidance for running vacuumdb after pg_upgrade.
Since pg_upgrade does not transfer the cumulative statistics used
to trigger autovacuum and autoanalyze, the server may take much
longer than expected to process them post-upgrade. Currently, we
recommend analyzing only relations for which optimizer statistics
were not transferred by using the --analyze-in-stages and
--missing-stats-only options. This commit appends another
recommendation to analyze all relations to update the relevant
cumulative statistics by using the --analyze-only option. This is
similar to the recommendation for pg_stat_reset().
