    gdb, testsuite, fortran: fix double free in mixed-lang-stack.exp
    
    While testing mixed-lang-stack I realized that valgrind actually
    complained about a double free in the test.
    
       All done
      ==2503051==
      ==2503051== HEAP SUMMARY:
      ==2503051==     in use at exit: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
      ==2503051==   total heap usage: 26 allocs, 27 frees, 87,343 bytes allocated
      ==2503051==
      ==2503051== All heap blocks were freed -- no leaks are possible
      ==2503051==
      ==2503051== For lists of detected and suppressed errors, rerun with: -s
      ==2503051== ERROR SUMMARY: 1 errors from 1 contexts (suppressed: 0 from 0)
    
    Reason for this is that in mixed-lang-stack.cpp in mixed_func_1f an
    object "derived_type obj" goes on the stack which is then passed-by-value
    (so copied) to mixed_func_1g.  The default copy-ctor will be called but,
    since derived_type contains a heap allocated string and the copy
    constructor is not implemented it will only be able to shallow copy the
    object.  Right after each of the functions the object gets freed - on the
    other hand the d'tor of derived_type actually is implemented and calls
    free on the heap allocated string which leads to a double free.  Instead
    of obeying the rule of 3/5 I just got rid of all that since it does not
    serve the test.  The string is now just a const char* = ".." object
    member.
