Subject: [PATCH v18 1/9] common/jsonapi: support FRONTEND clients

Based on a patch by Michael Paquier.

For frontend code, use PQExpBuffer instead of StringInfo. This requires
us to track allocation failures so that we can return JSON_OUT_OF_MEMORY
as needed. json_errdetail() now allocates its error message inside
memory owned by the JsonLexContext, so clients don't need to worry about
freeing it.

We can now partially revert b44669b2ca, now that json_errdetail() works
correctly.
