Spawning an autovacuum worker can feel artistic as we try to make the
tests run fast, but it's not that bad.  The trick is to use an
"autovacuum_naptime = 1".  Then you could either scan the server logs
for some 'autovacuum: processing database "blah"', or just a polling
query based on pg_stat_all_tables.autovacuum_count.  See for example
006_signal_autovacuum.pl.
