Fix mishandling of after-trigger state when a SQL function returns multiple

rows --- if the surrounding query queued any trigger events between the rows,
the events would be fired at the wrong time, leading to bizarre behavior.
Per report from Merlin Moncure.

This is a simple patch that should solve the problem fully in the back
branches, but in HEAD we also need to consider the possibility of queries
with RETURNING clauses.  Will look into a fix for that separately.
