Allow PL/Python functions to return arrays of composite types.
Also, fix the restriction that plpy.prepare/plpy.execute couldn't
handle query parameters or result columns of composite types.
In passing, adopt a saner arrangement for where to release the
tupledesc reference counts acquired via lookup_rowtype_tupdesc.
The callers of PLyObject_ToCompositeDatum were doing the lookups,
but then the releases happened somewhere down inside subroutines
of PLyObject_ToCompositeDatum, which is bizarre and bug-prone.
Instead release in the same function that acquires the refcount.

Query parameters and result row fields are converted between PostgreSQL
and Python data types as described in <xref linkend="plpython-data">.
- The exception is that composite types are currently not supported: They
- will be rejected as query parameters and are converted to strings when
- appearing in a query result. As a workaround for the latter problem, the
- query can sometimes be rewritten so that the composite type result
- appears as a result row rather than as a field of the result row.
- Alternatively, the resulting string could be parsed apart by hand, but
- this approach is not recommended because it is not future-proof.
