[PATCH 2/2] Use gdbarch obstack to allocate the TYPE_NAME string in arch_type


Since the type whose name is being set is now being allocated on the
gdbarch obstack, we should allocate its TYPE_NAME on the obstack too.
This reduces the number of individual valgrind warnings for the command
"gdb gdb" from ~300 to ~150.

Tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

[ I have a few more patches on top of these that together bring the total
  number of valgrind warnings for the command "gdb gdb" down to ~30
  but they are more controversial than these two, and if these aren't OK
  then the rest definitely aren't OK.  ]

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* gdbarch.h (gdbarch_obstack_strdup): Declare.
	* gdbarch.c (gdbarch_obstack_strdup): Define.
	* gdbtypes.c (arch_type): Use it.
