Fix a memory leak that's been here ever since 72aeb18772d (clean.c, ls-files.c: respect encapsulation of exclude_list_groups, 2013-01-16), we dup'd the argument in option_parse_exclude(), but never freed the string_list.

This makes almost all of t3001-ls-files-others-exclude.sh pass (it had a lot of failures before). Let's mark it as passing with TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true, and then exclude the tests that still failed with a !SANITIZE_LEAK prerequisite check until we fix those leaks. We can still see the failed tests under GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS=true.
