Set cutoff xmin more aggressively when vacuuming a temporary table.

Since other sessions aren't allowed to look into a temporary table
of our own session, we do not need to worry about the global xmin
horizon when setting the vacuum XID cutoff.  Indeed, if we're not
inside a transaction block, we may set oldestXmin to be the next
XID, because there cannot be any in-doubt tuples in a temp table,
nor any tuples that are dead but still visible to some snapshot of
our transaction.  (VACUUM, of course, is never inside a transaction
block; but we need to test that because CLUSTER shares the same code.)

This approach allows us to always clean out a temp table completely
during VACUUM, independently of concurrent activity.  Aside from
being useful in its own right, that simplifies building reproducible
test cases.
