[dev.link] cmd/link: free compressed symbols after dwarfcompress

Once the symbol is compressed, we will not need the uncompressed
symbol content. Free its memory.

Linking cmd/compile,

name               old live-B     new live-B     delta
Dwarfcompress_GC      42.7M ± 0%     37.9M ± 0%   -11.31%  (p=0.008 n=5+5)
