Restore the portal-level snapshot for simple expressions, too.

Commits 84f5c2908 et al missed the need to cover plpgsql's "simple
expression" code path.  If the first thing we execute after a
COMMIT/ROLLBACK is one of those, rather than a full-fledged SPI command,
we must explicitly do EnsurePortalSnapshotExists() to make sure we have
an outer snapshot.  Note that it wouldn't be good enough to just push a
snapshot for the duration of the expression execution: what comes back
might be toasted, so we'd better have a snapshot protecting it.

The test case demonstrating this fact cheats a bit by marking a SQL
function immutable even though it fetches from a table.  That's
nothing that users haven't been seen to do, though.

Per report from Jim Nasby.  Back-patch to v11, like the previous fix.
