Fix confusion about event trigger vs. plain function in plpgsql.

Fix confusion about event trigger vs. plain function in plpgsql. The function hash table keys made by compute_function_hashkey() failed to distinguish event-trigger call context from regular call context. This meant that once we'd successfully made a hash entry for an event trigger (either by validation, or by normal use as an event trigger), an attempt to call the trigger function as a plain function would find this hash entry and thereby bypass the you-can't-do-that check in do_compile(). Thus we'd attempt to execute the function, leading to strange errors or even crashes, depending on function contents and server version. To fix, add an isEventTrigger field to PLpgSQL_func_hashkey, paralleling the longstanding infrastructure for regular triggers. This fits into what had been pad space, so there's no risk of an ABI break, even assuming that any third-party code is looking at these hash keys. (I considered replacing isTrigger with a PLpgSQL_trigtype enum field, but felt that that carried some API/ABI risk. Maybe we should change it in HEAD though.) Per bug #16266 from Alexander Lakhin. This has been broken since event triggers were invented, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16266-fcd7f838e97ba5d4@postgresql.org
