Subject: [PATCH][RESEND] path-list.c: always free strdup'ed paths
Message-ID: <46C322DC.9030007@lsrfire.ath.cx>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/46C322DC.9030007%40lsrfire.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.
