Simplify SRFs using materialize mode in contrib/ modules

9e98583 introduced a helper to centralize building their needed state
(tuplestore, tuple descriptors, etc.), checking for any errors.  This
commit updates all places of contrib/ that can be switched to use
SetSingleFuncCall() as a drop-in replacement, resulting in the removal
of a lot of boilerplate code in all the modules updated by this commit.

Per analysis, some places remain as they are:
- pg_logdir_ls() in adminpack/ uses historically TYPEFUNC_RECORD as
return type, and I suspect that changing it may cause issues at run-time
with some of its past versions, down to 1.0.
- dblink/ uses a wrapper function doing exactly the work of
SetSingleFuncCall().  Here the switch should be possible, but rather
invasive so it does not seem the extra backpatch maintenance cost.
- tablefunc/, similarly, uses multiple helper functions with portions of
SetSingleFuncCall() spread across the code paths of this module.
