Fix memory corruption in Guile command interface
Re-registering a command will delete previous commands of the same name, running the destroyer for the command object. The Guile destroyer incorrectly tried to xfree the name and other strings, which is invalid as they are on the GC heap. gdb/ChangeLog: * guile/scm-cmd.c (cmdscm_destroyer): Don't xfree the name and other strings, as these are on the GC'd heap, and will be collected along with the smob.
