Use ui_file_as_string throughout more

This replaces most of the remaining ui_file_xstrdup calls with
ui_file_as_string calls.  Whenever a call was replaced, that led to a
cascade of other necessary adjustments throughout, to make the code
use std::string instead of raw pointers.  And then whenever I added a
std::string as member of a struct, I needed to adjust
allocation/destruction of said struct to use new/delete instead of
xmalloc/xfree.

The stopping point was once gdb built again.  These doesn't seem to be
a way to reasonably split this out further.

Maybe-not-obvious changes:

 - demangle_for_lookup returns a cleanup today.  To get rid of that,
   and avoid unnecessary string dupping/copying, this introduces a
   demangle_result_storage type that the caller instantiates and
   passes to demangle_for_lookup.

 - Many methods returned a "char *" to indicate that the caller owns
   the memory and must free it.  Those are switched to return a
   std::string instead.  Methods that return a "view" into some
   internal string return a "const char *" instead.  I.e., we only
   copy/allocate when necessary.
