Revert commit 644908c130,
"Garbage-collect SMJS objects before flushing caches."

The extra garbage collections increase the risk of crashing because of
dangling pointers in form_state.ecmascript_obj.  I don't think I'll
have time to properly document the bug and backport the fix before
the 0.11.4 release, so I'm reverting the change instead.

Open Lua console dialog.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: flush-caches
Managed By: The scripting subsystem/backends
Triggered When:
Elinks is going to free its caches. This happens when the user chooses
ACT_MAIN_CACHE_MINIMIZE, but currently also on ACT_MAIN_FORGET_CREDENTIALS
and when ELinks is quitting.
Arguments:
None
Description:
If scripting backends hold pointers to cache entries, they should try
to release those pointers so that ELinks can free the entries. This
may involve a full garbage collection. Also, if backends have some
caches of their own, they should flush them.
