gdb: make target_desc_info::filename an std::string

To make the management of memory automatic.

As to why I chose to make this an std::string and not an
std::unique_xmalloc_ptr<char>: some parts of the code consider both a
NULL value and an empty string value to mean "no filename".
target_desc_info_from_user_p, however, doesn't check for a non-NULL but
empty string value.  So it seems like having two ways of denoting "no
filename" can lead to these kinds of inconsistencies.  Using
std::string, "no filename" is only represented by an empty value.

As a bonus, using an std::string lets us copy target_desc_info objects
using the default assignment operator.
