ExecMakeTableFunctionResult evaluated the arguments for a function-in-FROM in the query-lifespan memory context. This is insignificant in simple cases where the function relation is scanned only once; but if the function is in a sub-SELECT or is on the inside of a nested loop, any memory consumed during argument evaluation can add up quickly. (The potential for trouble here had been foreseen long ago, per existing comments; but we'd not previously seen a complaint from the field about it.) To fix, create an additional temporary context just for this purpose. Per an example from MauMau. Back-patch to all active branches.
