Add scoped_value_mark

This adds a scoped_value_mark class, that records the value mark in
the constructor and then calls value_free_to_mark in the destructor.
It then updates various spots in gdb to use this class, rather than a
cleanup.

It would be better overall to replace "struct value *" with a
shared_ptr, maybe eliminating the need for this class (watchpoints
would perhaps need some new mechanism as well).  However, that's
difficult to do.
