[RFA] Fix leak in linespec parser.

Valgrind reports the below leak.
linespec_parser_new allocates a std::vector<symtab *> at line 2756,
and stores the pointer to this vector in PARSER_RESULT (parser)->file_symtabs.
At 3 different places in linespec.c, another std::vector is assigned to
a linespec->file_symtabs, without first deleting the current value.

The leak is fixed by delete-ing linespec->file_symtabs before
assigning a new value to it.

Tested on debian/amd64, + a bunch of tests re-run under valgrind.

Ok to push ?

(parse_linespec): Likewise.
