Avoid leaking memory during large-scale REASSIGN OWNED BY operations.
The various ALTER OWNER routines tend to leak memory in
CurrentMemoryContext. That's not a problem when they're only called
once per command; but in this usage where we might be touching many
objects, it can amount to a serious memory leak. Fix that by running
each call in a short-lived context.
(DROP OWNED BY likely has a similar issue, except that you'll probably
run out of lock table space before noticing. REASSIGN is worth fixing
since for most non-table object types, it won't take any lock.)
Back-patch to all supported branches. Unfortunately, in the back
branches this helps to only a limited extent, since the sinval message
queue bloats quite a lot in this usage before commit
3aafc030a,
consuming memory more or less comparable to what's actually leaked.
Still, it's clearly a leak with a simple fix, so we might as well fix it.
