This patch crashed and burned when I tried it on a case where a DO block
traps an exception :-(.  I had thought that a private econtext stack was
the right thing to do, but it isn't because we need plpgsql_subxact_cb
to be able to clean up dead econtexts in either functions or DO blocks.
So after some experimentation I came up with version 2, attached.
The additional test case I was using looks like

do $outer$
begin
  for i in 1..100000 loop
   begin
    execute $e$
      do $$
      declare x int = 0;
      begin
        x := 1 / x;
      end;
      $$;
    $e$;
  exception when division_by_zero then null;
  end;
  end loop;
end;
$outer$;

If you try this with the patch, you'll notice that there's still a slow
leak, but that's not the fault of DO blocks: the same leak exists if you
transpose this code into a regular function.  That leak is the fault of
exec_stmt_dynexecute, which copies the querystring into the function's
main execution context, from which it won't get freed if an error is
thrown out of SPI_execute.  (If we were using EXECUTE USING, the "ppd"
structure would get leaked too.)  There are some other similar error-
case leaks in other plpgsql statements, I think.  I'm not excited
about trying to clean those up as part of this patch.

                        regards, tom lane
