It actually wasn't including the PID anyway, as the
errdetail_log_plural was not getting passed to the client.

So I changed it to PGC_USERSET, didn't attempt to include details that
won't be sent anyway (although it would be nice for a superuser to be
able to see the statement text of the blocker, but that is a bigger
issue than I am willing to deal with here) and have removed a memory
leak/bug I introduced by foolishly trying to use 'continue' to avoid
introducing yet another layer of nesting.

Cheers,

Jeff
