Free SQLSTATE and SQLERRM no earlier than other PL/pgSQL variables.

"RETURN SQLERRM" prompted plpgsql_exec_function() to read from freed
memory.  Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).  Little code ran
between the premature free and the read, so non-assert builds are
unlikely to witness user-visible consequences.
