    fix leak in gdb_environ
    
    valgrind reports a leak when assigning a gdb_environ to another gdb_environ.
    The memory allocated for the target gdb_environ env variables is not released.
    The gdb_environ selftest reproduces the leak (see below).
    Fix the leak by clearing the target gdb_environ before std::move-ing the
    members.
    
    Tested natively and re-running all tests under valgrind.
