builtin/rebase: fix options.strategy memory lifecycle
- cmd_rebase populates rebase_options.strategy with newly allocated strings, hence we need to free those strings at the end of cmd_rebase to avoid a leak. - In some cases: get_replay_opts() is called, which prepares replay_opts using data from rebase_options. We used to simply copy the pointer from rebase_options.strategy, however that would now result in a double-free because sequencer_remove_state() is eventually used to free replay_opts.strategy. To avoid this we xstrdup() strategy when adding it to replay_opts. The original leak happens because we always populate rebase_options.strategy, but we don't always enter the path that calls get_replay_opts() and later sequencer_remove_state() - in other words we'd always allocate a new string into rebase_options.strategy but only sometimes did we free it. We now make sure that rebase_options and replay_opts both own their own copies of strategy, and each copy is free'd independently. This was first seen when running t0021 with LSAN, but t2012 helped catch the fact that we can't just free(options.strategy) at the end of cmd_rebase (as that can cause a double-free).
