Workaround committed in r102539.  If you call Form.Dispose (), the Form will be
able to be garbage collected.

The issue is that Tool/MenuStrips are added to a static collection in
ToolStripManager.  This allows them to grab keys like Alt to process even when
they are not the active control.  And the MenuStrip has a reference to its
parent, the Form.

To be fully fixed, ToolStripManager would need to be rewritten to pass messages
to the Tool/MenuStrips without holding a reference to them.

        * ToolStrip.cs, ToolStripDropDownItem.cs: Make sure toolstrips are
        removed from the static toolstrips collection in ToolStripManager
        when they are disposed.  Provides a workaround for bug #386483.
