Several objects were allocated by libxml2 and never released in some
error or even success paths, leading to some memory leaks that would
stack across SQL calls:
- In pgxml_xpath(), the result of xmlXPathCompiledEval() could leak.
This now uses a TRY/CATCH block to ensure a correct cleanup of a
workspace on failure.
- In xpath_table() missed some objects not freed on failure. Some
xmlFree() calls were missing for the results copied after a success.
- In pgxmlNodeSetToText(), xmlXPathCastNodeToString() allocates a result
that the caller is responsible for freeing. It was not freed.
Most of the work of this commit stands on top of f300dada8d, that has
refactored xml2 to make the handling of such leaks easier. The leaks
fixed here are more ancient than the commit mentioned above, and we have
never bothered doing something about them in older stable branches.
