Fix "layout reg" crash
Commit
d7e747318f4d04 ("Eliminate make_cleanup_ui_file_delete / make
ui_file a class hierarchy") introduced a problem when using "layout
regs", that leads gdb to crash when issuing:
./gdb ./a.out -ex 'layout regs' -ex start
From the backtrace, it's caused by this 'delete' on tui_restore_gdbout():

714 delete gdb_stdout;
The problem is simply that the commit mentioned above made the ui_file
that gdb_stdout is temporarily set to be a stack-allocated
string_file, while before it used to be a heap-allocated ui_file. The
fix is simply to remove the now-incorrect delete.
New test included, which exercises enabling all TUI layouts, with and
without execution. (This particular crash only triggers with
execution.)
