Pushed this one earlier.  I changed the errcode though, because in my
mind "object" is a database object, and the server configuration is not
an object.  So I used INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE instead.  I also don't
think it makes sense to say "cannot repack table X", so the user leaves
thinking they could repack table Y instead.  The whole point being that
you cannot vacuum _any_ tables.  So I made the errmsg() say that.

I'll give this a look after some icecream.

Also pushed, with additional editorialization.  I have recollections of
out message policy saying something about "could not do X" instead of
"failed to do X", so I changed it that way.  (But I couldn't find that
in the style guide.)
