Remove some global variables from vacuum.c

Using global variables because we don't want to pass these values around
as parameters does not really seem like a great idea, so let's remove
these two global variables and adjust a few functions to accept these
values as parameters instead.

This is part of a wider patch which intends to allow the size of the
buffer access strategy that vacuum uses to be adjusted.
