PG-225: Fix deadlock in pgss_store.

The deadlock scenario is describe below:
1. pgss_store is called, it acquires the lock pgss->lock.
2. An error ocurr, mostly out of memory when accessing internal hash
   tables used to store internal data, on functions
   pgss_store_query_info and pgss_get_entry.
3. Call elog() to report out of memory error.
4. Our pgsm_emit_log_hook is called, it calls pgss_store_error, which in
   turn calls pgss_store.
5. Try to acquire already acquired lock pgss->lock, deadlock happens.

To fix the problem, there are two modifications worth mentioning done by
this commit:
1. We are now passing HASH_ENTER_NULL flag to hash_search, instead of
   HASH_ENTER, as read in postgresql sources, this prevents this
   function from reporting error when out of memory, but instead it will
   only return NULL if we pass HASH_ENTER_NULL, so we can handle the
   error ourselves.
2. In pgss_store, if an error happens after the pgss->lock is acquired,
   we only set a flag, then, after releasing the lock, we check if the
   flag is set and report the error accordingly.
