Suppress complaints about leaks in TS dictionary loading.

Like the situation with function cache loading, text search
dictionary loading functions tend to leak some cruft into the
dictionary's long-lived cache context. To judge by the examples in
the core regression tests, not very many bytes are at stake.
Moreover, I don't see a way to prevent such leaks without changing the
API for TS template initialization functions: right now they do not
have to worry about making sure that their results are long-lived.

Hence, I think we should install a suppression rule rather than trying
to fix this completely. However, I did grab some low-hanging fruit:
several places were leaking the result of get_tsearch_config_filename.
This seems worth doing mostly because they are inconsistent with other
dictionaries that were freeing it already.
