Careless use of TopMemoryContext for I/O function data meant that repeated
use of spi_prepare and spi_freeplan would leak memory at the session level,
as per report from Christian Schröder.  In addition, spi_prepare
leaked a lot of transient data within the current plperl function's SPI
Proc context, which would be a problem for repeated use of spi_prepare
within a single plperl function call; and it wasn't terribly careful
about releasing permanent allocations in event of an error, either.

In passing, clean up some copy-and-pasteos in query-lookup error messages.
