libctf: fix ref leak of names of newly-inserted non-root-visible types
A bug in ctf_dtd_delete led to refs in the string table to the names of non-root-visible types not being removed when the DTD was. This seems harmless, but actually it would lead to a write down a pointer into freed memory if such a type was ctf_rollback()ed over and then the dict was serialized (updating all the refs as the strtab was serialized in turn). Bug introduced in commit fe4c2d55634c700ba527ac4183e05c66e9f93c62 ("libctf: create: non-root-visible types should not appear in name tables") which is included in binutils 2.35. libctf/ * ctf-create.c (ctf_dtd_delete): Remove refs for all types with names, not just root-visible ones.
