pg_surgery: Try to stabilize regression tests.
According to buildfarm member sungazer, the behavior of VACUUM can be
unstable in these tests even if we prevent autovacuum from running on
the tables in question, apparently because even a manual vacuum can
behave differently depending on whether anything else is running that
holds back the global xmin. So use a temporary table instead, which
as of commit a7212be8b9e0885ee769e8c55f99ef742cda487b enables
vacuuming using a more aggressive cutoff.
This approach can't be used for the regression test that involves a
materialized view, but that test doesn't run vacuum, so it shouldn't
be prone to this particular failure mode.
