Valgrind reports a leak in the dwarf reader (see details below).
The function dw2_get_file_names_reader is interning in the per_objfile
all the file names it finds, except the name of 'fnd file name and directory'.
Instead, it was xstrdup-ing the name.
Fix the leaks by also interning the name.

This was validated running the tests natively, and under valgrind.
Leaks have decreased as mentionned below.
Valgrind detected no error such as double free or use after free.

Stack trace of the leak:
