Noah Misch 5bbc596391 Fix test races between syscache-update-pruned.spec and autovacuum.
This spec fails ~3% of my Valgrind runs, and the spec has failed on Valgrind
buildfarm member skink at a similar rate.  Two problems contributed to that:

- A competing buffer pin triggered VACUUM's lazy_scan_noprune() path, causing
  "tuples missed: 1 dead from 1 pages not removed due to cleanup lock
  contention".  FREEZE fixes that.

- The spec ran lazy VACUUM immediately after VACUUM FULL.  The spec implicitly
  assumed lazy VACUUM prunes the one tuple that VACUUM FULL made dead.  First
  wait for old snapshots, making that assumption reliable.

This also adds two forms of defense in depth:

- Wait for snapshots using shared catalog pruning rules (VISHORIZON_SHARED).
  This avoids the removable cutoff moving backward when an XID-bearing
  autoanalyze process runs in another database.  That may never happen in this
  test, but it's cheap insurance.

- Use lazy VACUUM option DISABLE_PAGE_SKIPPING.  Commit
  c2dc1a7976 did this for a related requirement
  in other tests, but I suspect FREEZE is necessary and sufficient in all
  these tests.

Back-patch to v17, where the test first appeared.
