xml-support.c: Use std::string for growing string buffer

This main idea behind this patch is this change to xml-support.c:scope_level

  -  /* Body text accumulation.  This is an owning pointer.  */
  -  struct obstack *body;
  +  /* Body text accumulation.  */
  +  std::string body;

... which allows simplifying other parts of the code.

In target_fetch_description_xml, we want to distinguish between
returning "success + empty std::string" and "no success", and
gdb::optional is a natural fit for that.
