Fix autovacuum work item error handling
In autovacuum's "work item" processing, a few strings were allocated in the current transaction's memory context, which goes away during error handling; if an error happened during execution of the work item, the pfree() calls to clean up afterwards would try to release already-released memory, possibly leading to a crash. In branch master, this was already fixed by commit 335f3d04, so backpatch that to REL_10_STABLE to fix the problem there too. As a secondary problem, verify that the autovacuum worker is connected to the right database for each work item; otherwise some items would be discarded by workers in other databases.
