Fix memory leaks in PL/Python.
Previously, plpython was in the habit of allocating a lot of stuff in TopMemoryContext, and it was very slipshod about making sure that stuff got cleaned up; in particular, use of TopMemoryContext as fn_mcxt for function calls represents an unfixable leak, since we generally don't know what the called function might have allocated in fn_mcxt. This results in session-lifespan leakage in certain usage scenarios, as for example in a case reported by Ed Behn back in July. To fix, get rid of all the retail allocations in TopMemoryContext. All long-lived allocations are now made in sub-contexts that are associated with specific objects (either pl/python procedures, or Python-visible objects such as cursors and plans). We can clean these up when the associated object is deleted. I went so far as to get rid of PLy_malloc completely. There were a couple of places where it could still have been used safely, but on the whole it was just an invitation to bad coding.
