    libctf: don't leak the symbol name in the name->type cache
    
    This cache replaced a cache of symbol index->ctf_id_t. That cache was
    just an array, so it could get away with just being free()d, but the
    ctfi_symnamedicts cache that replaced it is a full dynhash with a
    dynamically-allocated string as the key.  As such, it needs freeing with
    ctf_dynhash_destroy(), not just free(), or we leak parts of the
    underlying hashtab, and all the keys.
    
    libctf/ChangeLog:
    
            * ctf-archive.c (ctf_arc_flush_caches): Fix leak.
