    Add AllocSetDeleteFreeList to clean up aset.c's freelist
    
    This frees up the memory allocated to memory contexts that are kept
    for future allocations. This behaves similar to changing aset.c's
    MAX_FREE_CONTEXTS to 0, but only does the cleanup when called, and
    allows the freelist approach to be used during Postgres operations.
