Fix leak due to assigning a xstrdup-ed string to the std::string gdb_datadir

Browse source 
Valgrind reports the following leak:
==32623== 56 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 1,099 of 6,654
==32623==    at 0x4835753: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:307)

==32623==    by 0x22531A: main (gdb.c:32)

Commit f2aec7f6d1 changed gdb_datadir to std::string.
So, xstrdup-ing the result of relocate_gdb_directory (returning a std::string)
is not needed and creates a leak.

Fix the leak by removing the xstrdup and the not needed c_str ().
Also removes a useless conversion of gdb_datadir to std::string.
