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.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
