[RFA 1/2] Allocate dwarf2_per_cu_data and signatured_type with new

This changes dwarf2_per_cu_data and signatured_type to be allocated
with new, rather than on the obstack.  The main idea here is to move
destructors into the objects that actually own the data, to make
dwarf2read a bit simpler to understand, and to enable the next patch.

This particular change required one little hack to make "delete" work
properly.  I did not think it would be good to add a virtual
destructor to dwarf2_per_cu_data just for this.
