Tom Lane c6f7f11d8f Fix edge-case resource leaks in PL/Python error reporting.
PLy_elog_impl and its subroutine PLy_traceback intended to avoid
leaking any PyObject reference counts, but their coverage of the
matter was sadly incomplete.  In particular, out-of-memory errors
in most of the string-construction subroutines could lead to
reference count leaks, because those calls were outside the
PG_TRY blocks responsible for dropping reference counts.

Fix by (a) adjusting the scopes of the PG_TRY blocks, and
(b) moving the responsibility for releasing the reference counts
of the traceback-stack objects to PLy_elog_impl.  This requires
some additional "volatile" markers, but not too many.

In passing, fix an ancient thinko: use of the "e_module_o" PyObject
was guarded by "if (e_type_s)", where surely "if (e_module_o)"
was meant.  This would only have visible consequences if the
"__name__" attribute were present but the "__module__" attribute
wasn't, which apparently never happens; but someday it might.

Rearranging the PG_TRY blocks requires indenting a fair amount
of code one more tab stop, which I'll do separately for clarity.
