That should be a candidate. The latest research makes me think the
'detoast_values' should have the same life cycles as tts_values, so the
memory should be managed by TupleTuleSlot (rather than ExprContext) and
be handled in ExecCopySlot / ExecClearSlot stuff.

In TupleTableSlot we already have a tts_mctx MemoryContext, reusing it
needs using 'pfree' to free the detoast values and but a dedicated
memory context pays more costs on the setup, but a more efficient
MemoryContextReset.

However this patch can be discussed seperately.
