    Fix volatile-safety issue in pltcl_SPI_execute_plan(). · 599d00aa

    The "callargs" variable is modified within PG_TRY and then referenced
    within PG_CATCH, which is exactly the coding pattern we've now found
    to be unsafe.  Marking "callargs" volatile would be problematic because
    it is passed by reference to some Tcl functions, so fix the problem
    by not modifying it within PG_TRY.  We can just postpone the free()
    till we exit the PG_TRY construct, as is already done elsewhere in this
    same file.
    
    Also, fix failure to free(callargs) when exiting on too-many-arguments
    error.  This is only a minor memory leak, but a leak nonetheless.
    
    In passing, remove some unnecessary "volatile" markings in the same
    function.  Those doubtless are there because gcc 2.95.3 whinged about
    them, but we now know that its algorithm for complaining is many bricks
    shy of a load.
    
    This is certainly a live bug with compilers that optimize similarly
    to current gcc, so back-patch to all active branches.
