Currently memory contexts are used to work around the short memory context of SPI blocks (SPI_connect and SPI_finish), which are used inside some functions. For example: https://github.com/supabase/pg_net/blob/314d00e34e22378ca2b733838f96b4c179d727a9/src/core.c#L139-L170 https://github.com/supabase/pg_net/blob/314d00e34e22378ca2b733838f96b4c179d727a9/src/core.c#L172-L227 But it's unnecessary to do that, instead we can use a single SPI block in the worker loop and share the same memory context for the curl operations. This makes the code simpler and makes memory allocations more visible.
Also add comments to main structs

Note
The implementation is basically reordering function calls, there's no change of logic.
