Prevent clobbering of utility statements in SQL function caches.

This is an oversight in commit 7c337b6b5: I apparently didn't think
about the possibility of a SQL function being executed multiple
times within a query. In that case, functions.c's primitive caching
mechanism allows the same utility parse tree to be presented for
execution more than once. We have to tell ProcessUtility to make
a working copy of the parse tree, or bad things happen.

Normally I'd add a regression test, but I think the reported crasher
is dependent on some rather random implementation choices that are
nowhere near functions.c, so its usefulness as a long-lived test
feels questionable. In any case, this fix is clearly correct given
the design choices of 7c337b6b5.

Per bug #17702 from Xin Wen. Thanks to Daniel Gustafsson for
analysis. Back-patch to v14 where the faulty commit came in
(before that, the responsibility for copying scribble-able
utility parse trees lay elsewhere).
