If we error out during execution of a SQL-language function, we will often leave behind non-null pointers in its SQLFunctionCache's cplan and eslist fields. This is problematic if the SQLFunctionCache is re-used, because those pointers will point at resources that were released during error cleanup. This problem escaped detection so far because ordinarily we won't re-use an FmgrInfo+SQLFunctionCache struct after a query error. However, in the rather improbable case that someone implements an opclass support function in SQL language, there will be long-lived FmgrInfos for it in the relcache, and then the problem is reachable after the function throws an error. To fix, add a flag to SQLFunctionCache that tracks whether execution escapes out of fmgr_sql, and clear out the relevant fields during init_sql_fcache if so. (This is going to need more thought if we ever try to share FMgrInfos across threads; but it's very far from being the only problem such a project will encounter, since many functions regard fn_extra as being query-local state.) This broke at commit 0313c5dc6; before that we did not try to re-use SQLFunctionCache state across calls. Hence, back-patch to v18.
