While looking into this I discovered another serious shortcoming: the
code was using static variables to process SETOF results, which of
course would break completely in any query involving more than one
plperl SETOF function. I also realized that the ret_hv code we were
concerned about was actually dead code, because there's a test further
up that insists that the Perl result be an array when the function is
declared to return set. So I wiped out that whole code path, for a nice
improvement in code size and legibility...
