[PATCH][RESEND] path-list.c: always free strdup'ed paths

From

<46C322DC.9030007@lsrfire.ath.cx>

Always free .paths if .strdup_paths is set, no matter if the parameter free_items is set or not, plugging a minor memory leak. And to clarify the meaning of the flag, rename it to free_util, since it now only affects the freeing of the .util field.
