The memsets seem to be easy to get rid of.  memset the array
to zeroes *once* before entering the per-tuple loop.  Then,
in the loop that looks for stuff to pfree, reset any entries
that are found to be set, thereby returning the array to all
zeroes for the next iteration.

I"m having a hard time though believing that the memset is the
main problem.  I'd think the pfree search loop is at least as
expensive.  Maybe skip that when not useful, by having a single
bool flag remembering whether any columns got detoasted in this
row?
