PL/Python: Add cursor and execute methods to plan object

Instead of

    plan = plpy.prepare(...)
    res = plpy.execute(plan, ...)

you can now write

    plan = plpy.prepare(...)
    res = plan.execute(...)

or even

    res = plpy.prepare(...).execute(...)

and similarly for the cursor() method.

This is more in object oriented style, and makes the hybrid nature of
the existing execute() function less confusing.
