driver: Fix several memory leaks [PR63854]

This patch fixes several memory leaks in the driver, all of which relate
to the handling of static specs. We introduce functions
set_static_spec_{shared,owned}() which are used to enforce proper memory
management when updating the strings in the static_specs table.

This is achieved by making use of the alloc_p field in the table
entries. Similarly to set_spec(), each time we update an entry, we check
whether alloc_p is set, and free the old value if so. We then set
alloc_p correctly based on whether we "own" this memory or whether we're
just taking a pointer to a shared string which we shouldn't free.

The following table shows the number of leaks found by AddressSanitizer
when running a minimal libgccjit program on AArch64. The test program
does the whole libgccjit compilation cycle in a loop (including acquiring
and releasing the context), and the table below shows the number of leaks
for different iterations of that loop.

gcc/ChangeLog:

PR jit/63854
* gcc.c (set_static_spec): New.
(set_static_spec_owned): New.
(set_static_spec_shared): New.
(driver::maybe_putenv_COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER): Use
set_static_spec_owned() to take ownership of lto_wrapper_file
such that it gets freed in driver::finalize.
(driver::maybe_run_linker): Use set_static_spec_shared() to
ensure that we don't try and free() the static string "ld",
also ensuring that any previously-allocated string in
linker_name_spec is freed. Likewise with argv0.
(driver::finalize): Use set_static_spec_shared() when resetting
specs that previously had allocated strings; remove if(0)
around call to free().
