[PATCH 08/28] send-pack: free cas options before exit

From
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

Message-ID
<20240924215539.GH1143820@coredump.intra.peff.net>
In-Reply-To
<20240924214930.GA1143523@coredump.intra.peff.net>

The send-pack --force-with-lease option populates a push_cas_option struct with allocated strings. Exiting without cleaning this up will cause leak-checkers to complain.

We can fix this by calling clear_cas_option(), after making it publicly available. Previously it was used only for resetting the list when we saw --no-force-with-lease.

The git-push command has the same "leak", though in this case it won't trigger a leak-checker since it stores the push_cas_option struct as a global rather than on the stack (and is thus reachable even after main() exits). I've added cleanup for it here anyway, though, as future-proofing.

The leak is triggered by t5541 (it tests --force-with-lease over http, which requires a separate send-pack process under the hood), but we can't mark it as leak-free yet.
