Try to stabilize results of new tuplesort regression test.

It appears that a concurrent autovacuum/autoanalyze run can cause changes in the plans expected by this test. To prevent that, change the tables it uses to be temp tables --- there's no need for them to be permanent, and this should save a few cycles too.
