I had FILLFACTOR in the TODO list until just a few months ago, but
because no one had discussed it in 3-4 years, I removed the item.  I
have added mention now in the auto-cluster section because that actually
seems like the only good reason for a non-100% fillfactor.  I don't
think our ordinary btrees have enough of a penalty for splits to make a
non-full fillfactor worthwhile, but having a non-full fillfactor for
autocluster controls how often items have to be shifted around.
