  To: gdb-patches

This avoids some manual memory management.

The current code leaks (on purpose) the command name if adding the
command was successful.  This is now explicitly done with a release.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* python/python-internal.h (gdbpy_parse_command_name): Return
	gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr.
	* python/py-cmd.c (gdbpy_parse_command_name): Likewise.
	(cmdpy_init): Adjust.
	* python/py-param.c (parmpy_init): Adjust.
