Remove dwarf2_per_objfile_free and use after free of dwarf2_per_objfile

I got some crashes while doing some work with dwarf2_per_objfile.  It
turns out that dwarf2_per_objfile_free is using the dwarf2_per_objfile
objects after their destructor has ran.

The easiest way to reproduce this is to run the inferior twice (do
"start" twice).  Currently, it goes unnoticed, but when I tried to
change all_comp_units and all_type_units to std::vectors, things started
crashing.

The dwarf2_per_objfile objects get destroyed here:

 #0  dwarf2_per_objfile::~dwarf2_per_objfile (this=0x35afe70, __in_chrg=<optimized out>) at /home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2read.c:2422
 #1  0x0000000000833282 in dwarf2_free_objfile (objfile=0x356cff0) at /home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2read.c:25363
 #2  0x0000000000699255 in elf_symfile_finish (objfile=0x356cff0) at /home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/elfread.c:1309
 #3  0x0000000000911ed3 in objfile::~objfile (this=0x356cff0, __in_chrg=<optimized out>) at /home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/objfiles.c:674

and just after that the dwarf2read per-objfile registry cleanup function
gets called:

 #0  dwarf2_per_objfile_free (objfile=0x356cff0, d=0x35afe70) at /home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2read.c:25667
 ... registry boilerplate ...
 #4  0x00000000009103ea in objfile_free_data (container=0x356cff0) at /home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/objfiles.c:61
 #5  0x0000000000911ee2 in objfile::~objfile (this=0x356cff0, __in_chrg=<optimized out>) at /home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/objfiles.c:678

In dwarf2_per_objfile_free, we access fields of the dwarf2_per_objfile
object, which is invalid since its destructor has been executed.

This patch moves the content of dwarf2_per_objfile_free to the
destructor of dwarf2_per_objfile.  The call to
register_objfile_data_with_cleanup in _initialize_dwarf2_read can be
changed to the simpler register_objfile_data.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* dwarf2read.c (free_dwo_files): Add forward-declaration.
	(dwarf2_per_objfile::~dwarf2_per_objfile): Move content from
	dwarf2_per_objfile_free here.
	(dwarf2_per_objfile_free): Remove.
	(_initialize_dwarf2_read): Don't register
	dwarf2_per_objfile_free as a registry cleanup.
