Cache the results of ri_FetchConstraintInfo in a backend-local cache.

Extracting data from pg_constraint turned out to take as much as 10% of the
runtime in a bulk-update case where the foreign key column wasn't changing,
because we did it over again for each tuple. Fix that by maintaining a
backend-local cache of the results. This is really a pretty small patch,
but converting the trigger functions to work with pointers rather than
local struct variables requires a lot of mechanical changes.
