Fix for bug 133489: compiler leaks memory
Two different but related problems: 1. PySymtable_Free() must explicitly DECREF(st->st_cur), which should always point to the global symtable entry. This entry is setup by the first enter_scope() call, but there is never a corresponding exit_scope() call. Since each entry has a reference to scopes defined within it, the missing DECREF caused all symtable entries to be leaked. 2. The leak here masked a separate problem with PySymtableEntry_New(). When the requested entry was found in st->st_symbols, the entry was returned without doing an INCREF. And problem c) The ste_children slot was getting two copies of each child entry, because it was populating the slot on the first and second passes. Now only populate on the first pass.
