Avoid memory leakage when a series of subtransactions invoke AFTER triggers
that are fired at end-of-statement (as is the normal case for foreign keys, for example). In this situation the per-subxact deferred trigger context is always empty when subtransaction exit is reached; so we could free it, but were not doing so, leading to an intratransaction leak of 8K or more per subtransaction. Per off-list example from Viatcheslav Kalinin subsequent to bug #3418 (his original bug report omitted a foreign key constraint needed to cause this leak). Back-patch to 8.2; prior versions were not using per-subxact contexts for deferred triggers, so did not have this leak.
