    Remove postmaster.c's check that NBuffers is at least twice MaxBackends. · d9384a4b

    With the addition of multiple autovacuum workers, our choices were to delete
    the check, document the interaction with autovacuum_max_workers, or complicate
    the check to try to hide that interaction.  Since this restriction has never
    been adequate to ensure backends can't run out of pinnable buffers, it doesn't
    really have enough excuse to live to justify the second or third choices.
    Per discussion of a complaint from Andreas Kling (see also bug #3888).
    
    This commit also removes several documentation references to this restriction,
    but I'm not sure I got them all.
