Simplify the example of VACUUM in documentation.

Previously a detailed activity report by VACUUM VERBOSE ANALYZE was
described as an example of VACUUM in docs. But it had been obsolete
for a long time. For example, commit feb4f44d29
updated the content of that activity report in 2003, but we had
forgotten to update the example.

So basically we need to update the example. But since no one cared
about the details of VACUUM output and complained about that mistake
for such long time, per discussion on hackers, we decided to get rid
of the detailed activity report from the example and simplify it.

Back-patch to all supported versions.
