Richard Guo d424d06ed2 plperl: Fix NULL pointer dereference for forged array object
In get_perl_array_ref(), for a PostgreSQL::InServer::ARRAY object, we
look up its "array" key with hv_fetch_string() and then inspect the
returned SV.  However, hv_fetch_string() returns a NULL pointer when
the key is absent, and the code dereferenced that result without first
checking whether the pointer itself was NULL.  As a result, a plperl
function returning a forged PostgreSQL::InServer::ARRAY object that
lacks the "array" key would crash the backend with a segmentation
fault.

Fix this by checking the pointer returned by hv_fetch_string() before
dereferencing it, matching how other callers in this file already
guard the result.  With the check in place, such an object falls
through to the existing error report instead of crashing.
