hstore_plperl: Add CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() in reference-unwinding loop.

Add CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() to the while loop in plperl_to_hstore()
that dereferences chains of Perl references, so that a circular
reference (e.g. $x = \$x) can be cancelled by the user instead of
spinning indefinitely.  (We looked at detecting such circular
references, but it seems more trouble than it's worth.)

This is a follow-up to da82fbb8f, which fixed the same issue in
SV_to_JsonbValue() in jsonb_plperl.
