OK, I have added a documentation mention but removed the mention of
autovacuum. I have also added this TODO:
o Prevent pg_dump/pg_restore from being affected by
statement_timeout
Using psql to restore a pg_dump dump is also affected.
Particularly consider using psql to restore a pg_dump dump --- are we
going to add "SET statement_timeout=0" to the pg_dump file?
