difftool: fix use-after-free
The left and right base directories were pointed to the buf field of two strbufs, which were subject to change. A contrived test case shows the problem where a file with a long enough name to force the strbuf to grow is up-to-date (hence the code path is used where the work tree's version of the file is reused), and then a file that is not up-to-date needs to be written (hence the code path is used where checkout_entry() uses the previously recorded base_dir that is invalid by now). Let's just copy the base_dir strings for use with checkout_entry(), never touch them until the end, and release them then. This is an easily verifiable fix (as opposed to the next-obvious alternative: to re-set base_dir after every loop iteration).
