Hi Andres and all,

This commit 763f2edd92095b1ca2 "Rejigger materializing and fetching a
HeapTuple from a slot" introduces a memory leak into the ExecutorState
context which is invoked by this statement:

CREATE TABLE tbloom AS
   SELECT
     (random() * 1000000)::int as i1,
     (random() * 1000000)::int as i2,
     (random() * 1000000)::int as i3,
     (random() * 1000000)::int as i4,
     (random() * 1000000)::int as i5,
     (random() * 1000000)::int as i6
   FROM
  generate_series(1,50000000);

By blind analogy to the changes made to matview.c, I think that createas.c
is missing a heap_freetuple, as attached.

It fixes the leak, and still passes "make check".
Cheers,

Jeff
