Pushed.  After sleeping on it I decided that removing the pfree's
would be a poor tradeoff, as it's not clear how long those allocations
might survive otherwise.  The extra "volatile" markers for "xmsg"
and "tbmsg" aren't that big a deal.  Trying to mark "emsg" as volatile
would be problematic because none of the StringInfo routines are set
up to allow that, but it shouldn't be a problem because that struct
will surely be on the stack.
