bpo-30306: release arguments of contextmanager (GH-1500)
The arguments to a generator function which is declared as a
contextmanager are stored inside the context manager, and
thus are kept alive, even when it is used as a regular context
manager, and not as a function decorator (where it needs
the original arguments to recreate the generator on each
call).
This is a possible unnecessary memory leak, so this changes
contextmanager.__enter__ to release the saved arguments,
as that method being called means that particular CM instance
isn't going to need to recreate the underlying generator.
