Thread: pgsql: Clamp autovacuum launcher sleep time to 5 minutes

Clamp autovacuum launcher sleep time to 5 minutes

This avoids the problem that it might go to sleep for an unreasonable
amount of time in unusual conditions like the server clock moving
backwards an unreasonable amount of time.

(Simply moving the server clock forward again doesn't solve the problem
unless you wake up the autovacuum launcher manually, say by sending it
SIGHUP).
