Patch for SPI subtransaction memory leakage

I noticed a gripe about plpgsql exceptions leaking memory:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-performance/2006-11/msg00032.php
(woulda been nice if he'd reported it more formally, but whatever.)

Some experimentation shows that there is indeed an issue, eg this
function leaks about 16K per iteration in HEAD:

create function fooey(int) returns void as $$
begin
for n in 1..$1 loop
begin
perform 1/0;
exception
when others then null;
end;
end loop;
end$$ language plpgsql;

I came up with the attached patch that gets rid of the bulk of the leak
--- this particular example still leaks about 48 bytes/iteration due to
the two palloc's in exec_run_select(), which it doesn't get control back
to free.  It's hard to see dealing with that without a major rewrite of
plpgsql's memory management :-(

While this patch passes all the regression tests, I'm still a bit
nervous about whether it might free data that someone still wants
somewhere. Anyone have any complicated PL functions or handwritten
SPI-using code they'd like to try it with?
