dsymutil is using an excessive amount of memory because it's holding on to the DWARF Context, even after it's done processing the corresponding object file. This patch releases the input DWARF after cloning, at which point it is no longer needed. This has always been the intended behavior, though I didn't bisect to figure out when this regressed. When linking swift, this reduces peak (dirty) memory usage from 25 to 15 gigabytes. rdar://111525100
