[gdb/symtab] Fix data race in ~charset_vector
When doing: ... $ gdb ./outputs/gdb.ada/char_enum_unicode/foo -batch -ex "break foo.adb:26" ... with a gdb build with -fsanitize=thread I run into a data race: ... WARNING: ThreadSanitizer: data race (pid=30917) Write of size 8 at 0x7b0400004070 by main thread: #0 free <null> (libtsan.so.2+0x4c5e2) #1 xfree<char> gdbsupport/gdb-xfree.h:37 (gdb+0x650f17) #2 charset_vector::clear() gdb/charset.c:703 (gdb+0x651354) #3 charset_vector::~charset_vector() gdb/charset.c:697 (gdb+0x6512d3) #4 <null> <null> (libtsan.so.2+0x32643) #5 captured_main_1 gdb/main.c:1310 (gdb+0xa3975a) ... The problem is that we're freeing the charset_vector elements in the destructor, which may still be used by a worker thread. Fix this by not freeing the charset_vector elements in the destructor. Tested on x86_64-linux. Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29311
