It seems that postgres_fdw_connection() is expected to be called by
ForeignServerConnectionString() via OidFunctionCall3(),
and to allocate memory (including str.data) in the FDWConnectionContext
memory context created by ForeignServerConnectionString().

After calling postgres_fdw_connection(), ForeignServerConnectionString()
deletes FDWConnectionContext. So it seems to me that any memory
allocated in that context, including str.data, would not leak. No?
