Fix some memory leaks in the WAL receiver

Fix some memory leaks in the WAL receiver These are old leaks, that can pile up if a WAL receiver stays alive, waiting for new WAL data after the sender has switched to a new timeline. While this is technically a bug, the impact is minimal and would only become noticeable if the WAL sender handles a lot of timeline switches, so no backpatch is done. Note that in most cases, primary_conninfo would be updated in a standby to point to a new sender, meaning a restart of the WAL receiver. Let's be clean on HEAD, though.
