Tom Lane e087b5b794 Fix per-relation memory leakage in autovacuum.
PgStat_StatTabEntry and AutoVacOpts structs were leaked until
the end of the autovacuum worker's run, which is bad news if
there are a lot of relations in the database.

Note: pfree'ing the PgStat_StatTabEntry structs here seems a bit
risky, because pgstat_fetch_stat_tabentry_ext does not guarantee
anything about whether its result is long-lived.  It appears okay
so long as autovacuum forces PGSTAT_FETCH_CONSISTENCY_NONE, but
I think that API could use a re-think.

Also ensure that the VacuumRelation structure passed to
vacuum() is in recoverable storage.

Back-patch to v15 where we started to manage table statistics
this way.  (The AutoVacOpts leakage is probably older, but
I'm not excited enough to worry about just that part.)

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
