Using `IntrusiveRefCntPtr<FileManager>` locally should do the trick, the clients can take ownership if they want and `FileManager` will be properly freed if they don't do that.

`CompilerInstance::createFileManager` stores `IntrusiveRefCntPtr` as a field before returning a raw pointer, so it seems to properly manage memory there.
