    Make pgstat tabstat lookup hash table less fragile. · 5d00b764

    Fix cases where an elog(ERROR) partway through a function would leave the
    persistent data structures in a corrupt state.  pgstat_report_stat got this
    wrong by invalidating PgStat_TableEntry structs before removing hashtable
    entries pointing to them, and get_tabstat_entry got it wrong by ignoring
    the possibility of palloc failure after it had already created a hashtable
    entry.
    
    Also, avoid leaking a memory context per transaction, which the previous
    code did through misunderstanding hash_create's API.  We do not need to
    create a context to hold the hash table; hash_create will do that.
    (The leak wasn't that large, amounting to only a memory context header
    per iteration, but it's still surprising that nobody noticed it yet.)
