Here is a patch that allows COMMIT inside cursor loops in PL/pgSQL. As
alluded to in earlier threads, this is done by converting such cursors
to holdable automatically. A special flag "auto-held" marks such
cursors, so we know to clean them up on exceptions.
This is currently only for PL/pgSQL, but the same technique could be
applied easily to other PLs.
