pgsql: Always pfree strings returned by GetDatabasePath

Always pfree strings returned by GetDatabasePath

Several places didn't do it, and in many cases it didn't matter because
it would be a small allocation in a short-lived context; but other
places may accumulate a few (for example, in CreateDatabaseUsingFileCopy,
one per tablespace).  In most databases this is highly unlikely to be
very serious either, but it seems better to make the code consistent in
case there's future copy-and-paste.

The only case of actual concern seems to be the aforementioned routine,
which is new with commit 9c08aea6a309, so there's no need to backpatch.

As pointed out by Coverity.
