  1. Test that vacuum removes tuples older than OldestXmin

  2. Lower minimum maintenance_work_mem to 64kB

  3. Add accidentally omitted test to meson build file

  4. Use DELETE instead of UPDATE to speed up vacuum test

  5. Revert "Test that vacuum removes tuples older than OldestXmin"

  6. Ensure vacuum removes all visibly dead tuples older than OldestXmin
