Ethan Atkins d9acfed220 Fix EvaluateTask memory leak
EvaluateTask was holding references to SafeState that could be quite
large. This was reported as #5992. In that project, I ran the `ci` task
and observed the OOM as reported. I took a heap dump prior to OOM and
got the retained size graph from visualvm (which took hours to compute).
The lastEvaluatedState was holding a reference to SafeState that was
1.7GB. The project max heap size was set to 2GB. Instead of using the
lastEvaluatedState, we can just use StandardMain.exchange.withState.
The cached instances of state were used for task cancellation and
completions. While it is possible that early on in booting
StandardMain.exchange.withState could return a null state, in practice
this won't happen because it is set early on during the sbt boot
commands.

After this change, I successfully ran the `ci` task in the #5992 issue
project with the same memory parameters as their ci config.
