pgsql: Reduce memory used by partitionwise joins

Reduce memory used by partitionwise joins

Specifically, this commit reduces the memory consumed by the
SpecialJoinInfos that are allocated for child joins in
try_partitionwise_join() by freeing them at the end of creating paths
for each child join.

A SpecialJoinInfo allocated for a given child join is a copy of the
parent join's SpecialJoinInfo, which contains the translated copies
of the various Relids bitmapsets and semi_rhs_exprs, which is a List
of Nodes.  The newly added freeing step frees the struct itself and
the various bitmapsets, but not semi_rhs_exprs, because there's no
handy function to free the memory of Node trees.
