PR gdb/17210 - fix possible memory leak in read_memory_robust

PR gdb/17210 concerns a possible memory leak in read_memory_robust.
The bug can happen because read_memory_robust allocates memory, does
not install any cleanups, and invokes QUIT.  Similarly, target_read
calls QUIT, so it too can potentially throw.

The fix is to install cleanups to guard the allocated memory.

Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 23.  I couldn't think of a way to
test this, so no new test; and of course this means it should have
more careful review.
