The RMT met today. We determined that it wasn't worth adjusting this
test to pass with non-standard work_mem values.

"make installcheck" also fails with lower random_page_cost settings.
There doesn't seem to be any reason to permit a non-standard setting
to cause installcheck to fail elsewhere, while not tolerating the same
issue here, with work_mem.
