Suppress complaints about leaks in function cache loading.

PL/pgSQL and SQL-function parsing leak some stuff into the long-lived
function cache context.  This isn't really a huge practical problem,
since it's not a large amount of data and the cruft will be recovered
if we have to re-parse the function.  It's not clear that it's worth
working any harder than the previous patch did to eliminate these
leak complaints, so instead silence them with a suppression rule.

This suppression rule also hides the fact that CachedFunction structs
are intentionally leaked in some cases because we're unsure if any
fn_extra pointers remain.  That might be nice to do something about
eventually, but it's not clear how.

Suppress complaints about leaks in TS dictionary loading.

Like the situation with function cache loading, text search
dictionary loading functions tend to leak some cruft into the
dictionary's long-lived cache context.  To judge by the examples in
the core regression tests, not very many bytes are at stake.
Moreover, I don't see a way to prevent such leaks without changing the
API for TS template initialization functions: right now they do not
have to worry about making sure that their results are long-lived.

Hence, I think we should install a suppression rule rather than trying
to fix this completely.  However, I did grab some low-hanging fruit:
several places were leaking the result of get_tsearch_config_filename.
This seems worth doing mostly because they are inconsistent with other
dictionaries that were freeing it already.
