[PATCH 00/22] Memory leak fixes (pt.6)

[Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>]

Hi,

here's another round of memory leak fixes. This is the second-last round
of "general" leak fixes -- so once this and the next series are merged,
I have made a full pass over all failing test suites. There will still
be a bunch of memory leaks, namely ~86 failing test suites.

I have documented a bunch of remaining leaks at [1]. Most of them are a
bit more involved to fix, so they will likely require separate series.
These issues relate to:

  - Simplifying commit history causes us to rewrite their parents, but
    we don't free the old parents in some cases. Hit e.g. by t6012.

  - The describe atom infrastructure as used by git-for-each-ref(1) is
    leaky. Hit e.g. by t6300, t6302.

  - Breaking rewrites causes memory leaks. Hit e.g. by t7524.

  - Cloning repositories causes us to re-initialize `the_repository`.
    This surfaces lifetime management issues with the `struct remote`
    that we use, which reuses storage held by `the_repository`. Hit e.g.
    by t5558.

  - The GPG interface is leaky. Hit e.g. by t7510, t7528.

If you want to do some puzzling, please feel free to pick up any of
these leaks :) I won't start working on them before I have the final
part of memory leak fixes merged.

This patch series builds on top of 6a09c36371 (The eighth batch,
2024-08-23) with Junio's ps/leakfixes-part-5 at 13b23d2da5 (transport:
fix leaking negotiation tips, 2024-08-22) merged into it.
