plpython: Add SPI cursor support

Add a function plpy.cursor that is similar to plpy.execute but uses an
SPI cursor to avoid fetching the entire result set into memory.

I assume this is _not_ related to this TODO item:

    Add a DB-API compliant interface on top of the SPI interface

This commit apparently caused a problem on buildfarm narwhal, which has
been failing for 8 days without anyone paying attention. See
<http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=narwhal&dt=2011-12-14%2017%3A00%3A02>:

    plpython.c:3163: error: initializer element is not constant
    plpython.c:3163: error: (near initialization for `PLy_CursorType.tp_iter')
    make[3]: *** [plpython.o] Error 1


Can someone please investigate?

Um, yes, some of us noticed:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2011-12/msg00264.php

Apparently, nobody has any idea what's wrong or how to fix it, because
it works fine with other copies of python 2.5.  What we need to know is
what's different about narwhal's version.  Dave, any ideas?

Dave,

this is your machine. It's been failing for 34 days now. Could you
please follow up?

Yes, it's defined as such:

PyAPI_FUNC(PyObject *) PyObject_SelfIter(PyObject *);

Hmm. Well, at this stage I'm slightly inclined to say it's a compiler
problem. That's a pretty old compiler. If you can't upgrade it maybe you
should just take --with-python out of the buildfarm settings.

I'm wondering what PyAPI_FUNC() expands to on Dave's machine.  In my
copy of pyport.h, there's a rat's nest of cygwin-related tests that may
or may not lead to including "extern" and/or "__declspec" in that macro.
I think possibly the wrong combination might lead to failures of this
ilk?

Is there a way I can get gcc to spit out the expanded definition in a
readable format that you know of?

Yes. Figure out what flags gcc is given when building the TU. Then,
add the -E flag and see what is generated:

Yeah, something like

     gcc -E -I/usr/include/python2.7/ -include Python.h
/usr/include/python2.7/object.h

adjusted for your paths should do it.

which contains:

    __attribute__((dllimport)) PyObject * PyObject_SelfIter(PyObject *);



The result is identical on frogmouth, which builds happily using gcc
4.5.0. So this does look like a compiler quirk.

OK, I'll disable Python on Narwhal.
