  This patch adds a new class allocate_on_obstack, and let dwarf2_per_objfile
inherit it, so that dwarf2_per_objfile is automatically allocated on
obstack, and "delete dwarf2_per_objfile" doesn't de-allocate any space.

Regression tested on x86_64-linux.

gdb:

2018-02-06  Yao Qi  <yao.qi@linaro.org>

	* block.c (block_namespace_info): Inherit allocate_on_obstack.
	(block_initialize_namespace): Use new.
	* dwarf2read.c (dwarf2_per_objfile): Inherit allocate_on_obstack.
	(dwarf2_free_objfile): Use delete.
	* gdbtypes.c (type_pair): Inherit allocate_on_obstack.
	(copy_type_recursive): Use new.
	* gdb_obstack.h (allocate_on_obstack): New.

LGTM.

I still think it should be restricted to types with a trivial
destructor.  Otherwise, someday, the lack of actual destruction is going
to cause a bug.

Can you give me some clues on how to do the restriction?  I think I need to
use std::enable_if and std::is_trivially_destructible, but don't know how to put
them into the code.

Lack of destruction causes a bug in any case.  If object is allocated on heap,
and don't do "delete p", the dtor isn't called and memory is leaked.  I
expect use "delete p" no matter where the object is allocated (on heap or
on obstack).

I somehow managed to write static_assert std::is_trivially_destructible<T>
for these classes, and dwarf2_per_objfile is not trivially destructible.
Classes inherit allocate_on_obstack don't have to be is_trivially_destructible,
IMO.

We can still let dwarf2_per_objfile inherit allocate_on_obstack or allocate
dwarf2_per_objfile on obstack, but is still better to use "delete" to call dtor.

I pushed it in.
