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). LSAN output from t0021:
