Possible, but this would require at least to change gram.y to update
VacuumStmt->options to set VACOPT_FREEZE for the case where VACUUM is
parsed without parenthesis. I'd rather simply rely on the freeze
parameters for simplicity. That is at least what I guess by looking at
where is used VACOPT_FREEZE.
