Get rid of copy_partition_key

alvherre · alvherre · commit 8a0596cb656e · 2017-12-21T14:21:39.000-03:00
That function currently exists to avoid leaking memory in CacheMemoryContext in case of trouble while the partition key is being built, but there's a better way: allocate everything in a memcxt that goes away if the current (sub)transaction fails, and once the partition key is built and no further errors can occur, make the memcxt permanent by making it a child of CacheMemoryContext.
