Reduce memory usage of tsvector type analyze function.
compute_tsvector_stats() detoasted and kept in memory every tsvector value
in the sample, but that can be a lot of memory. The original bug report
described a case using over 10 gigabytes, with statistics target of 10000
(the maximum).
To fix, allocate a separate copy of just the lexemes that we keep around,
and free the detoasted tsvector values as we go. This adds some palloc/pfree
overhead, when you have a lot of distinct lexemes in the sample, but it's
better than running out of memory.
Fixes bug #14654 reported by James C. Reviewed by Tom Lane. Backport to
all supported versions.
