[PATCH v3 0/3] diff: build parseopts array on demand

From

Calling repo_init_revisions() and release_revisions() in that order leaks the memory allocated for the parseopts array in the embedded struct diff_options member. Get rid of that leak by reducing the lifetime of that array.

Original patch: https://lore.kernel.org/git/4fd82dc6-e0f8-0638-5b10-16bfef39a171@web.de/

Submitted separately from that thread because it's independent enough.
Changes since v2:
- Inline get_diff_parseopts() to simplify the code.
Change since v1:
- Actually remove the parseopts member.  Its removal got lost during
  refactoring in v1.  Thank you for spotting that, Junio!
