Alexander Korotkov 4c1973fcae Avoid recursion in MemoryContext functions
You might run out of stack space with recursion, which is not nice in
functions that might be used e.g. at cleanup after transaction
abort. MemoryContext contains pointer to parent and siblings, so we
can traverse a tree of contexts iteratively, without using
stack. Refactor the functions to do that.

MemoryContextStats() still recurses, but it now has a limit to how
deep it recurses. Once the limit is reached, it prints just a summary
of the rest of the hierarchy, similar to how it summarizes contexts
with lots of children. That seems good anyway, because a context dump
with hundreds of nested contexts isn't very readable.
