Avoid possible regression test instability in timestamp.sql.
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.
