Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments
to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments
following #endif to not obey the general rule.
Commit e3860ffa4d wasn't actually using
the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that
tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of
code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be
moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's
code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops
in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working
in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the
net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed
one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves
more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such
cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after
the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after.
Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same
as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else.
That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage
from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent.
This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

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.

This provides a mechanism for specifying conversions between SQL data
types and procedural languages. As examples, there are transforms
for hstore and ltree for PL/Perl and PL/Python.

This moves the code around from one huge file into hopefully logical
and more manageable modules. For the most part, the code itself was
not touched, except: PLy_function_handler and PLy_trigger_handler were
renamed to PLy_exec_function and PLy_exec_trigger, because they were
not actually handlers in the PL handler sense, and it makes the naming
more similar to the way PL/pgSQL is organized. The initialization of
the procedure caches was separated into a new function
init_procedure_caches to keep the hash tables private to
plpy_procedures.c.
