Use DELETE instead of UPDATE to speed up vacuum test

e2e992820f104def introduced a test which generated dead tuples for
vacuum with an UPDATE. The test only required enough dead TIDs for two
rounds of index vacuuming. This can be accomplished with a DELETE
instead of an UPDATE -- which generates about 50% less WAL and makes the
test 20% faster in many cases. The test takes several seconds (more on
slow buildfarm animals) because we need quite a few tuples to trigger
two rounds of index vacuuming; so it is worth a follow-on commit to
speed it up.
