vacuumdb: Skip temporary tables in query to build list of relations

Running vacuumdb with a non-superuser while another user has created a
temporary table would lead to a mid-flight permission failure,
interrupting the operation.  vacuum_rel() skips temporary relations of
other backends, and it makes no sense for vacuumdb to know about these
relations, so let's switch it to ignore temporary relations entirely.

Adding a qual in the query based on relpersistence simplifies the
generation of its WHERE clause in vacuum_one_database(), per se the
removal of "has_where".
