Create a stack of pl/python "execution contexts".

This replaces the former global variable PLy_curr_procedure, and provides
a place to stash per-call-level information.  In particular we create a
per-call-level scratch memory context.

For the moment, the scratch context is just used to avoid leaking memory
from datatype output function calls in PLyDict_FromTuple.  There probably
will be more use-cases in future.

Although this is a fix for a pre-existing memory leakage bug, it seems
sufficiently invasive to not want to back-patch; it feels better as part
of the major rearrangement of plpython code that we've already done as
part of 9.2.
