Don't make an extra copy + allocation of the demangled name

We can just keep around the malloc()-ed name we got from bfd and free
it later.

gdb/ChangeLog:

2019-10-02  Christian Biesinger  <cbiesinger@google.com>

	* symtab.c (struct demangled_name_entry): Change demangled name
	to a char*, now that we don't allocate it as part of the struct
	anymore.
	(free_demangled_name_entry): New function.
	(create_demangled_names_hash): Pass free function to htab_create_alloc.
	(symbol_set_names): No longer obstack allocate + copy the demangled
	name, just store the allocated name from bfd.

Although the obstack manipulation bits are a bit odd with the offsets and potentially less than ideal documentation, this looks reasonable to me. Only a couple nits in formatting.

Usual style is "char *demangled;" i think. Although there is one offender in symtab.c already.

Would it make sense to rebase that patch over your other series (especially https://gnutoolchain-gerrit.osci.io/r/c/binutils-gdb/+/37/5).  This field could become a gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr.  Since you already call the destructor in the other patch, this will get cleaned up automatically.

I rebased & followed Simon's suggestion, so this comment is moot now.

Yeah, there's whitespace on this line. This was already pre-existing but I removed it now.

LGTM, but I'd like if Tom could give this a quick look, since he has more experience with the symbol handling stuff.

Thank you.  This looks good, but I think free_demangled_name_entry needs to
be updated to destroy the new member.

Formatting should be `<char *>` here (missing a space).

Oh, never mind -- I was misreading that function!
I see now it calls the full object's destructor, which will
do the right thing.

This patch is ok with the formatting nit fixed.  No need to re-review.

I reverted the change on this line; I'm no longer sure it's correct.
