pgoutput caches the attribute map of a relation, that is free()'d only
when validating a RelationSyncEntry. However, this code path is not
taken when calling any of the SQL functions able to do some logical
decoding, like pg_logical_slot_{get,peek}_changes(), leaking some memory
into CacheMemoryContext on repeated calls.
To address this, a relation's attribute map is allocated in
PGOutputData's cachectx, free()'d at the end of the execution of these
SQL functions when logical decoding ends. This is available down to 15.
v13 and v14 have a similar leak, which will be dealt with later.
