Fix use-after-free bug with event triggers in an extension script
ALTER TABLE commands in an extension script are added to an event
trigger command list; but starting with commit b5810de3f4 they do so in
a memory context that's too short-lived, so when execution ends and time
comes to use the entries, they've already been freed.

(This would also be a problem with ALTER TABLE commands in a
multi-command query string, but these serendipitously end in
PortalContext -- which probably explains why it took so long for this to
be reported.)

Fix by using the memory context specifically set for that, instead.

Backpatch to 13, where the aforementioned commit appeared.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication

thread/
  A thread-safety-testing utility used by configure
