Wrap PL/Python SPI calls into subtransactions

This allows the language-specific try/catch construct to catch and
handle exceptions arising from SPI calls, matching the behavior of
other PLs.

As an additional bonus you no longer get all the ugly "unrecognized
error in PLy_spi_execute_query" errors.

<title>Trapping Errors</title>

Functions accessing the database might encounter errors, which
will cause them to abort and raise an exception. Both
<function>plpy.execute</function> and
<function>plpy.prepare</function> can raise an instance of
<literal>plpy.SPIError</literal>, which by default will terminate
the function. This error can be handled just like any other
Python exception, by using the <literal>try/except</literal>
construct. For example:
<programlisting>
CREATE FUNCTION try_adding_joe() RETURNS text AS $$
try:
plpy.execute("INSERT INTO users(username) VALUES ('joe')")
except plpy.SPIError:
return "something went wrong"
else:
return "Joe added"
