Suppress complaints about leaks in function cache loading.

PL/pgSQL and SQL-function parsing leak some stuff into the long-lived
function cache context.  This isn't really a huge practical problem,
since it's not a large amount of data and the cruft will be recovered
if we have to re-parse the function.  It's not clear that it's worth
working any harder than the previous patch did to eliminate these
leak complaints, so instead silence them with a suppression rule.

This suppression rule also hides the fact that CachedFunction structs
are intentionally leaked in some cases because we're unsure if any
fn_extra pointers remain.  That might be nice to do something about
eventually, but it's not clear how.

# Memory-leak suppressions
# Note that a suppression rule will silence complaints about memory blocks

# complaints about blocks that are only reachable via the suppressed blocks.
# Suppress complaints about stuff leaked during function cache loading.
# Both the PL/pgSQL and SQL-function parsing processes generate some cruft
# within the function's cache context, which doesn't seem worth the trouble
# to get rid of. Moreover, there are cases where CachedFunction structs
