Hello,

Since b8d7f053c5c2bf2a7e8734fe3327f6a8bc711755 (Andres in Cc), if you
write queries which result in infinite recursion (or just too many
nested function calls), execution ends with segfault instead of intended
exhausted max_stack_depth:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000000000df851e in DirectFunctionCall1Coll (
    func=<error reading variable: Cannot access memory at address
0x7ffef5972f98>,
    collation=<error reading variable: Cannot access memory at address
0x7ffef5972f94>,
    arg1=<error reading variable: Cannot access memory at address
0x7ffef5972f88>) at fmgr.c:708

Please find attached a trivial patch to fix this.  I'm not sure
ExecMakeTableFunctionResult() is the best or only place that needs to
check the stack depth.

I also attached a simple sql file to reproduce the issue if needed.
Should I add a regression test based on it?
