Introduce a gdb_ref_ptr specialization for struct value

struct value is internally reference counted and so, while it also has
some ownership rules unique to it, it makes sense to use a gdb_ref_ptr
when managing it automatically.

This patch removes the existing unique_ptr specialization in favor of
a reference-counted pointer.  It also introduces two other
clarifications:

1. Rename value_free to value_decref, which I think is more in line
   with what the function actually does; and

2. Change release_value to return a gdb_ref_ptr.  This change allows
   us to remove the confusing release_value_or_incref function,
   primarily by making it much simpler to reason about the result of
   release_value.
