This series fixes (or annotates) all the memory leaks that can cause t0001
to fail when run with LeakSanitizer (t0000 already passes without failures).

I suspect that none of these leaks had any user impact, and I'm aware that
every change does cause some noise - I would have no objections to
abandoning this series if it's not deemed valuable enough. On the other
hand: fixing or suppressing these leaks should make it easier to spot leaks
that have more significant user impact (it's entirely plausible that no real
impactful leaks exist).

Note: this series does not guarantee that there are no leaks within
t0000-t0001, it only fixes those leaks which cause test failures. There is
at least one test case in t0000 where git is invoked in a subshell, and the
return value is ignored - meaning that a memory leak that is occuring during
that invocation does not cause tests to fail (I'm still trying to figure out
if that's something that's worth fixing - but that's probably a topic for a
separate thread):
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/tree/t/t0000-basic.sh#n1285

In case anyone is interested: I have been using the following workflow to
find leaks and verify fixes - I'm running into crashes when using LSAN
standalone, therefore I'm using full ASAN instead (I'm not particularly
concerned about this: LSAN standalone mode is known to be less-well tested
than leak-checking within ASAN [1], and the crashes are occurring within the
leak-checker itself):

make GIT_TEST_OPTS="-i -v" DEFAULT_TEST_TARGET="t0000-basic.sh"
ASAN_OPTIONS="detect_leaks=1:abort_on_error=1" SANITIZE=address DEVELOPER=1
CFLAGS="-DSUPPRESS_ANNOTATED_LEAKS -g -fno-optimize-sibling-calls -O1
-fno-omit-frame-pointer" test

(I then rerun the entire test suite with ASAN but with leak-checking
disabled in order to gain some confidence that my fixes aren't inadvertently
introducing memory safety issues.)
