Change fd.c so that temp files are closed and deleted at

proc_exit time.  I discovered that if the frontend closes the connection
when you're inside a transaction block, there is nothing ensuring that
temp files go away ... I wonder whether proc_exit ought to try to do an
explicit transaction abort?
