gdbserver/linux: free process_info_private and arch_process_info when failing to attach

Running

  $ ../gdbserver/gdbserver --once --attach :1234 539436

with ASan while /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope is set to 1 (prevents
attaching) shows that we fail to free some platform-specific objects
tied to the process_info (process_info_private and arch_process_info):

    Direct leak of 32 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:

Those objects are deleted by linux_process_target::mourn, but that is
not called if we fail to attach, we only call remove_process.  I
initially fixed this by making linux_process_target::attach call
linux_process_target::mourn on failure (before calling error).  But this
isn't done anywhere else (including in GDB) so it would just be
confusing to do things differently here.

Instead, add a linux_process_target::remove_linux_process helper method
(which calls remove_process), and call that instead of remove_process in
the Linux target.  Move the free-ing of the extra data from the mourn
method to that new method.
