diff.[ch]: have diff_free() call clear_pathspec(opts.pathspec)
Have the diff_free() function call clear_pathspec(). Since the
diff_flush() function calls this all its callers can be simplified to
rely on it instead.
When I added the diff_free() function in e900d494dcf (diff: add an API
for deferred freeing, 2021-02-11) I simply missed this, or wasn't
interested in it. Let's consolidate this now. This means that any
future callers (and I've got revision.c in mind) that embed a "struct
diff_options" can simply call diff_free() instead of needing know that
it has an embedded pathspec.
This does fix a bunch of leaks, but I can't mark any test here as
passing under the SANITIZE=leak testing mode because in
886e1084d78 (builtin/: add UNLEAKs, 2017-10-01) an UNLEAK(rev) was
added, which plasters over the memory
leak. E.g. "t4011-diff-symlink.sh" would report fewer leaks with this
fix, but because of the UNLEAK() reports none.
I'll eventually loop around to removing that UNLEAK(rev) annotation as
I'll fix deeper issues with the revisions API leaking. This is one
small step on the way there, a new freeing function in revisions.c
will want to call this diff_free().
