Stabilize incremental_sort tests

The test never did ANALYZE on the test table, so the plans depended on
various defaults (e.g. number of groups being 200). This worked most of
the time, but with CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS the autoanalyze often managed
to build accurate stats, changing the  plan.

Fixed by increasing the size of test tables a bit, making the Sort a bit
more expensive than Incremental Sort. The tests were constructed to test
transitions in the Incremental Sort algorithm, and this change does not
break that.
