Richard Guo e92f23bde6 plpython: Fix NULL pointer dereferences for broken sequence and mapping objects
PL/Python and its hstore and jsonb transforms build SQL values from
Python containers by calling Python C API functions that can return
NULL, and in several places the result was used without first checking
it.

On the sequence side, PySequence_GetItem() is used when converting a
returned sequence into a SQL array or composite value, when reading
the argument list passed to plpy.execute() or plpy.cursor(), and when
reading the list of type names given to plpy.prepare().  On the
mapping side, the hstore and jsonb transforms call PyMapping_Size()
and PyMapping_Items() and then index the result with PyList_GetItem()
and PyTuple_GetItem().

All of these return NULL (or -1), with a Python exception set, for a
broken object: for example one whose __getitem__() or items() raises,
or which reports a length that disagrees with what it actually yields.
The unchecked result was then dereferenced, crashing the backend.

Fix this by checking the result of each call and reporting a regular
error if it failed, so that the underlying Python exception is
surfaced instead of taking down the session.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------

This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree.  This does not preclude their
usefulness.

User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.

When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target.  You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.

Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types.  To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command.  In a fresh database,
you can simply do

    CREATE EXTENSION module_name;

See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
