After thinking about this a bit more, I found the test that breaks
with v12. It is a bind statement in an implicit transaction. The
portal will get dropped by the end of the transaction and will not
reach drop_unnamed_portal. So, v13 takes Frederic's original idea,
saves the pointer of debug_query_string, and resets it at the end of
DropPortal. I also enhanced the test coverage.

Debugging also shows that the STATEMENT: log is formed while we are
in ExecutorEnd. We know that other extensions rely on
QueryDesc->sourceText in that hook (i.e., pg_stat_statements), so
this is another reason this approach appears safe, in addition to
what was mentioned here [0] about the MessageContext outliving the
portal.
