The release note has been updated, and I think it would help users
understand the change.

It would be a good idea to improve the documentation, but I think that
we cannot simply compare these two numbers since the numbers that
these fields count are slightly different. For instance,
pg_stat_all_tables.n_dead_tup includes the number of dead tuples that
are going to be HOT-pruned.
