Setting vacuum_freeze_table_age to 0 forces VACUUM to always scan all
pages, effectively ignoring the visibility map. In this way a scan of
the whole table is done, ensuring all old XIDs are replaced by FrozenXID.

vacuum_freeze_table_age is a parameter with context 'user', meaning
that you can set it during a session and run a "vacuum freeze" with
the modified setting.
