Allow gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr<T[]>
Currently, if you try to use the array version of
gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr (i.e., std::unique_ptr) in order to have
access to operator[], like:
gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr<char[]> buf ((char *) xmalloc (10));
return buf[0];
then the build fails, like:
/usr/include/c++/5.3.1/bits/unique_ptr.h: In instantiation of ‘std::unique_ptr<_Tp [], _Dp>::~unique_ptr() [with _Tp = char; _Dp = gdb::xfree_deleter<char []>]’:
main.c:30:61: required from here
/usr/include/c++/5.3.1/bits/unique_ptr.h:484:17: error: no match for call to ‘(std::unique_ptr<char [], gdb::xfree_deleter<char []> >::deleter_type {aka gdb::xfree_deleter<char []>}) (char*&)’
get_deleter()(__ptr);

The problem is that we're missing an xfree_deleter specialization for
arrays.
