Fix 4K leak in open_source_file each time next/step changes of function.

When current function changes after a next/step, GDB shows a message such as:
  (gdb) s
  info_fun1 ()
      at /bd/home/philippe/gdb/git/build_smallthing/gdb/testsuite/../../../smallthing/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/info_qt.c:41
  41	  info_qt_inc++;
  (gdb)

Valgrind reports a 4K definite leak for each such message (full stacktrace of
the leak below).

This patch fixes this leak, by transferring the current s->fullname to the
unique_xmalloc_ptr fullname given to find_and_open_source.

Note that I do not understand why find_and_open_source always tries to
re-execute the substitution rules on the provided fullname, as source.c
symtab_to_fullname just blindly returns a non NULL s->fullname, counting on
forget_cached_source_info to be called if search dir or substitution rules are
changed.  Similarly, psymtab_to_fullname also just returns a non NULL
ps->fullname.
