Fix leak by using td_ta_delete() to deregister target process and deallocate internal process handle.

Valgrind reports the below leak:

This leak is created because a call to td_ta_new allocates some resources
that must be freed with td_ta_delete, and that was missing.

With this patch, the nr of GDB executions leaking during regression tests
decreases further from 566 to 380.

Note that the gdbserver equivalent code is properly calling
td_ta_delete: see thread_db_mourn in thread-db.c.

Tests run natively on debian/amd64, and run under valgrind.
