builtin/merge: free found_ref when done

merge_name() calls dwim_ref(), which allocates a new string into found_ref. Therefore add a free() to avoid leaking found_ref. LSAN output from t0021: Direct leak of 16 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from: #0 0x486804 in strdup ../projects/compiler-rt/lib/asan/asan_interceptors.cpp:452:3 #1 0xa8beb8 in xstrdup wrapper.c:29:14 #2 0x954054 in expand_ref refs.c:671:12 #3 0x953cb6 in repo_dwim_ref refs.c:644:22 #4 0x5d3759 in dwim_ref refs.h:162:9 #5 0x5d3759 in merge_name builtin/merge.c:517:6 #6 0x5d3759 in collect_parents builtin/merge.c:1214:5 #7 0x5cf60d in cmd_merge builtin/merge.c:1458:16 #8 0x4ce83e in run_builtin git.c:475:11 #9 0x4ccafe in handle_builtin git.c:729:3 #10 0x4cb01c in run_argv git.c:818:4 #11 0x4cb01c in cmd_main git.c:949:19 #12 0x6bdbfd in main common-main.c:52:11 #13 0x7f0430502349 in __libc_start_main (/lib64/libc.so.6+0x24349) SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: 16 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).
