Use dynamic row format when creating temporary tables without sumary fields.

The reason for this is that BLOCK_RECORD format is not good when there is a lot of duplicated keys as it first writes the data (to get the row position) and
then writes the key (and thus checks for duplicates).

/*
The logic for choosing the record format:
The STATIC_RECORD format is the fastest one, because it's so simple,
so we use this by default for short rows.
BLOCK_RECORD caches both row and data, so this is generally faster than
DYNAMIC_RECORD. The one exception is when we write to tmp table
(no updates == no sum fields) in which case BLOCK RECORD is slower as
we first write the row, then check for key conflicts and then we have to
delete the row.
