Fix unstable aggregate regression test

Buildfarm member avocet has shown a plan change by switching the finalize aggregate stage to use a GroupAggregate rather than a HashAggregate. This is consistent with autovacuum having triggered on the table, per analysis by Alexander Lakhin. Fix this by disabling autovacuum on the table.
