Fix memory leak and inefficiency in CREATE DATABASE ... STRATEGY WAL_LOG

RelationCopyStorageUsingBuffer() did not free the strategies used to access
the source / target relation. They memory was released at the end of the
transaction, but when using a template database with a lot of relations, the
temporary leak can become big prohibitively big.

RelationCopyStorageUsingBuffer() acquired the buffer for the target relation
with RBM_NORMAL, therefore requiring a read of a block guaranteed to be
zero. Use RBM_ZERO_AND_LOCK instead.
