Enhancement of SPI to get access to portals

- New functions to create a portal using a prepared/saved
  SPI plan or lookup an existing portal by name.
- Functions to fetch/move from/in portals. Results are placed
  in the usual SPI_processed and SPI_tuptable, so the entire
  set of utility functions can be used to gain attribute access.
- Prepared/saved SPI plans now use their own memory context
  and SPI_freeplan(plan) can remove them.
- Tuple result sets (SPI_tuptable) now uses it's own memory
  context and can be free'd by SPI_freetuptable(tuptab).

Enhancement of PL/pgSQL

- Uses generic named portals internally in FOR ... SELECT
  loops to avoid running out of memory on huge result sets.
- Support for CURSOR and REFCURSOR syntax using the new SPI
  functionality. Cursors used internally only need no explicit
  transaction block. Refcursor variables can be used inside
