Pushed after a round of review.  I made some mostly-cosmetic changes,
such as rewriting comments (consolidating some stuff I thought was
duplicative).  The main thing I fixed that was an actual bug was
you were careless about lifespan of variables around PG_TRY blocks.
The rule of thumb is that if a variable is modified inside PG_TRY
and then used after that block (including in the PG_CATCH) then it
has to be marked volatile.  Where possible, I avoid using the
volatile marking by assigning the variable's value before PG_TRY.

Kind of a hokey test, since it doesn't model the likely actual case
where the CREATE happens in another session, but this is as close as
we'll get without a much more complex test setup.  I kept it, and
also added another test that exercises the early-termination path,
since code coverage showed me that ShutdownPLyFunction() wasn't being
reached.
