[PATCH 04/16] object_array: add a "clear" function

There's currently no easy way to free the memory associated with an object_array (and in most cases, we simply leak the memory in a rev_info's pending array). Let's provide a helper to make this easier to handle.

We can make use of it in list-objects.c, which does the same thing by hand (but fails to free the "name" field of each entry, potentially leaking memory).
