Fix ancient memory leak in contrib/auto_explain.
The ExecutorEnd hook is invoked in a context that could be quite
long-lived, not the executor's own per-query context as I think
we were sort of assuming. Thus, any cruft generated while producing
the EXPLAIN output could accumulate over multiple queries. This can
result in spectacular leakage if log_nested_statements is on, and
even without that I'm surprised nobody complained before.
To fix, just switch into the executor's context so that anything we
allocate will be released when standard_ExecutorEnd frees the executor
state. We might as well nuke the code's retail pfree of the explain
output string, too; that's laughably inadequate to the need.
Japin Li, per report from Jeff Janes. This bug is old, so
back-patch to all supported branches.
