    Avoid possible regression test instability in timestamp.sql. · 47169c25

    Concurrent autovacuum could result in a change in the order of the
    live rows in timestamp_tbl.  While this would not happen with the
    default autovacuum parameters, it's fairly easy to hit if
    autovacuum_vacuum_threshold is made small enough to allow autovac
    to decide to process this table.  That's a stumbling block for trying
    to exercise autovacuum aggressively using the core regression tests.
    
    To fix, replace an unqualified DELETE with a TRUNCATE.  There's a
    similar DELETE just above (and no order-sensitive queries between),
    so this doesn't lose any test coverage and might indeed be argued
    to improve it.
