Tom Lane 6779c55c22 Clean up BeginCommand and related routines. BeginCommand and EndCommand
are now both invoked once per received SQL command (raw parsetree) from
pg_exec_query_string.  BeginCommand is actually just an empty routine
at the moment --- all its former operations have been pushed into tuple
receiver setup routines in printtup.c.  This makes for a clean distinction
between BeginCommand/EndCommand (once per command) and the tuple receiver
setup/teardown routines (once per ExecutorRun call), whereas the old code
was quite ad hoc.  Along the way, clean up the calling conventions for
ExecutorRun a little bit.

*
* dest.h
* support for communication destinations
*
* Whenever the backend executes a query, the results
* have to go someplace.
*
* - stdout is the destination only when we are running a
* standalone backend (no postmaster) and are returning results
* back to an interactive user.
*
* - a remote process is the destination when we are
* running a backend with a frontend and the frontend executes
* PQexec() or PQfn(). In this case, the results are sent
* to the frontend via the functions in backend/libpq.
*
* - None is the destination when the system executes
* a query internally. The results are discarded.
*
* dest.c defines three functions that implement destination management:
*
* BeginCommand: initialize the destination at start of command.
* DestToFunction: return a pointer to a struct of destination-specific
* receiver functions.
* EndCommand: clean up the destination at end of command.
*
* BeginCommand/EndCommand are executed once per received SQL query.
*
* DestToFunction, and the receiver functions it links to, are executed
* each time we run the executor to produce tuples, which may occur
* multiple times per received query (eg, due to additional queries produced
* by rewrite rules).
*
* The DestReceiver object returned by DestToFunction may be a statically
* allocated object (for destination types that require no local state)
* or can be a palloc'd object that has DestReceiver as its first field
* and contains additional fields (see printtup.c for an example). These
* additional fields are then accessible to the DestReceiver functions
* by casting the DestReceiver* pointer passed to them.
* The palloc'd object is pfree'd by the DestReceiver's cleanup function.
