[PATCH] add -p: fix memory leak

Message-ID
<pull.729.git.1599491041170.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>

asan reports that the C version of `add -p` is not freeing all the memory it allocates. Fix this by introducing a function to clear `struct add_p_state` and use it instead of freeing individual members.

    add -p: fix memory leak
    
    It seems to be the season for add -p fixes. This patch fixes a memory
    leak in the C version found with asan.
