Let's keep it simple. Why not just adding a toast_enabled flag (disabled
by default) in pg_autovacuum? If it's set then main and toast tables are
processed by autovac.

FYI, I have a WIP patch to remove pg_autovacuum in favor of reloptions. 
And based on your proposal, it'll be needed to add reloptions to toast 
tables too. IMO, we should keep that code as simple as possible.
