[committed] Fix memory leak of pretty_printer prefixes

We were rather sloppy about handling the ownership of prefixes for
pretty_printer, and this lead to a memory leak for any time a
diagnostic_show_locus call emits multiple line spans.

This showed up in "make selftest-valgrind" as:

3,976 bytes in 28 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 632 of 669

This patch fixes the leaks by ensuring that the pretty_printer "owns"
the prefix if it's non-NULL, freeing it in the dtor and in pp_set_prefix.

Successfully bootstrapped & regrtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu;
manually verified "make selftest-valgrind" output (one unrelated leak
remains).

Committed to trunk as r263275.

gcc/cp/ChangeLog:
	* error.c (cxx_print_error_function): Duplicate "file" before
	passing it to pp_set_prefix.
	(cp_print_error_function): Use pp_take_prefix when saving the
	existing prefix.

gcc/ChangeLog:
	* diagnostic-show-locus.c (diagnostic_show_locus): Use
	pp_take_prefix when saving the existing prefix.
	* diagnostic.c (diagnostic_append_note): Likewise.
	* langhooks.c (lhd_print_error_function): Likewise.
	* pretty-print.c (pp_set_prefix): Drop the "const" from "prefix"
	param's type.  Free the existing prefix.
	(pp_take_prefix): New function.
	(pretty_printer::pretty_printer): Drop the prefix parameter.
	Rename the length parameter to match the comment.
	(pretty_printer::~pretty_printer): Free the prefix.
	* pretty-print.h (pretty_printer::pretty_printer): Drop the prefix
	parameter.
	(struct pretty_printer): Drop the "const" from "prefix" field's
	type and clarify memory management.
	(pp_set_prefix): Drop the "const" from the 2nd param.
	(pp_take_prefix): New decl.
