compile: Use also inferior munmap

Currently inferior memory is allocated by inferior mmap() but it is never
deallocated; despite the injected objfile incl. its symbols is freed.  This was
intentional so that one can do for example:
inferior:
char *str = "foo";
GDB:
(gdb) compile code str = "bar";

I believe later patches will be needed to introduce full control over keeping
vs. discarding the injected module as being discussed in:
compile: objfiles lifetime UI
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2015-04/msg00051.html
Message-ID: <20150429135735.GA16974@host1.jankratochvil.net>
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2015-05/msg00007.html

As decided by Phil it is better not to leak inferior pages as users can
workaround the issue above for example by:
(gdb) compile code str = strdup ("bar");

I have checked that in fact gdb/doc/ (written by Phil) already expects the
injected code will be unmapped so that does not need to be changed:
compile code int ff = 5; p = &ff;
In this example, @code{p} would point to @code{ff} when the
@code{compile} command is executing the source code provided to it.
However, as variables in the (example) program persist with their
assigned values, the variable @code{p} would point to an invalid
location when the command exists.
