Tom Lane 41b45576d5 Remove useless pfree()s at the ends of various ValuePerCall SRFs.
We don't need to manually clean up allocations in a SRF's
multi_call_memory_ctx, because the SRF_RETURN_DONE infrastructure
takes care of that (and also ensures that it will happen even if the
function never gets a final call, which simple manual cleanup cannot
do).

Hence, the code removed by this patch is a waste of code and cycles.
Worse, it gives the impression that cleaning up manually is a thing,
which can lead to more serious errors such as those fixed in
commits 085b6b667 and b4570d33a.  So we should get rid of it.

These are not quite actual bugs though, so I couldn't muster the
enthusiasm to back-patch.  Fix in HEAD only.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
