Noah Misch 2212f7db80 Replace last PushOverrideSearchPath() call with set_config_option().
The two methods don't cooperate, so set_config_option("search_path",
...) has been ineffective under non-empty overrideStack.  This defect
enabled an attacker having database-level CREATE privilege to execute
arbitrary code as the bootstrap superuser.  While that particular attack
requires v13+ for the trusted extension attribute, other attacks are
feasible in all supported versions.

Standardize on the combination of NewGUCNestLevel() and
set_config_option("search_path", ...).  It is newer than
PushOverrideSearchPath(), more-prevalent, and has no known
disadvantages.  The "override" mechanism remains for now, for
compatibility with out-of-tree code.  Users should update such code,
which likely suffers from the same sort of vulnerability closed here.
Back-patch to v11 (all supported versions).
