  This changes the Python code to remove some more calls to xfree, in
favor of self-managing data structures.

Tested on x86-64 Fedora 28.

gdb/ChangeLog
2018-12-26  Tom Tromey  <tom@tromey.com>

	* python/python.c (python_interactive_command): Use std::string.
	(gdbpy_parameter): Likewise.
	* python/py-utils.c (unicode_to_encoded_string): Update comment.
	* python/py-symtab.c (salpy_str): Use PyString_FromFormat.
	* python/py-record-btrace.c (recpy_bt_insn_data): Use
	byte_vector.
	* python/py-objfile.c (objfpy_get_build_id): Use
	unique_xmalloc_ptr.
	* python/py-inferior.c (infpy_read_memory): Use
	unique_xmalloc_ptr.
	* python/py-cmd.c (gdbpy_parse_command_name): Use std::string.
