branch: fix a leak in dwim_and_setup_tracking

In e89f151db1 (branch: move --set-upstream-to behavior to dwim_and_setup_tracking(), 2022-01-28) the string returned by dwim_branch_start() was not freed, resulting in a memory leak. It can be reviewed with: $ git remote add local . $ git update-ref refs/remotes/local/foo HEAD $ git branch --set-upstream-to local/foo foo Direct leak of 23 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from: ... in xstrdup wrapper.c ... in expand_ref refs.c ... in repo_dwim_ref refs.c ... in dwim_branch_start branch.c ... in dwim_and_setup_tracking branch.c ... in cmd_branch builtin/branch.c ... in run_builtin git.c Let's free it now.
