Fix 300,000+ leaks seen during the regression tests.



EvalCodeCache::get was heap-allocating an EvalExecutable instance without adopting the initial reference.

While fixing this we noticed that EvalExecutable was a RefCounted type that was sometimes stack allocated.

To make this cleaner and to prevent clients from attempting to ref a stack-allocated instance, we move the

refcounting down to a new CacheableEvalExecutable class that derives from EvalExecutable. EvalCodeCache::get

now uses CacheableEvalExecutable::create and avoids the leak.
