Eliminate make_cleanup_obstack_free, introduce auto_obstack

This commit eliminates make_cleanup_obstack_free, replacing it with a
new auto_obstack type that inherits obstack to add cdtors.

These changes in the parsers may not be obvious:

 -  obstack_init (&name_obstack);
 -  make_cleanup_obstack_free (&name_obstack);
 +  name_obstack.clear ();

Here, the 'name_obstack' variable is a global.  The change means that
the obstack's contents from a previous parse will stay around until
the next parsing starts.  I.e., memory won't be reclaimed until then.
I don't think that's a problem, these objects don't really grow much
at all.

The other option I tried was to add a separate type that is like
auto_obstack but manages an external obstack, just for those cases.  I
like the current approach better as that other approach adds more
boilerplate and yet another type to learn.
