diff: plug memory leak from regcomp() on {log,diff} -I
Fix a memory leak in 296d4a94e7 (diff: add -I<regex> that ignores
matching changes, 2020-10-20) by freeing the memory it allocates in
the newly introduced diff_free(). See the previous commit for details
on that.
This memory leak was intentionally introduced in 296d4a94e7, see the
discussion on a previous iteration of it in
https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqeelycajx.fsf@gitster.c.googlers.com/
At that time freeing the memory was somewhat tedious, but since it
isn't anymore with the newly introduced diff_free() let's use it.
Let's retain the pattern for diff_free_file() and add a
diff_free_ignore_regex(), even though (unlike "diff_free_file") we
don't need to call it elsewhere. I think this'll make for more
readable code than gradually accumulating a giant diff_free()
function, sharing "int i" across unrelated code etc.
