Summary: Fix for memory leak in WindowsError_str

Initial Comment:
The same memory leak that Neal Norwitz found in
EnvironmentError_str is also present in
WindowsError_str.

How to reproduce:

Python 2.5a2 (trunk:46603M, Jun  2 2006, 22:37:47)
  ...
>>> e = WindowsError(1, 'message', 'filename')
[27062 refs]
>>> s = str(e)
[27065 refs]
>>> s = str(e)
[27066 refs]
>>> s = str(e)
[27067 refs]
>>> del e.filename
[27066 refs]
>>> s = str(e)
[27066 refs]
>>> s = str(e)
[27066 refs]
>>> s = str(e)
[27066 refs]

This simple patch fixes it.
