Discard uncompressed buffer after creating .gdb_index contents.

Once we create .gdb_index contents, .zdebug_gnu_pub{names,types}
are useless, so there's no need to keep their uncompressed data
in memory.

I observed that for a test case in which lld creates a 3GB .gdb_index
section, the maximum resident set size reduced from 43GB to 29GB after
this patch.

Benchmarking

In order to make sure various developers can evaluate patches over the same tests, we create a collection of self contained programs.
