I think without teaching autovac about those rules, this might just lead
to lots of autovac processes starting without knowing they should do
something? They know about autovacuum_multixact_freeze_age, but they
know neither about !oldestOffsetKnown nor, afaics, about pending offset
wraparounds?

I think it'd be a good idea to also return false in case of a
InvalidMultiXactId - that'll be returned if the page has been zeroed.
