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.
