pack-write.c: plug a leak in stage_tmp_packfiles()

The function `stage_tmp_packfiles()` generates a filename to use for staging the contents of what will become the pack's ".mtimes" file. The name is generated in `write_mtimes_file()` and the result is returned back to `stage_tmp_packfiles()` which uses it to rename the temporary file into place via `rename_tmp_packfiles()`. `write_mtimes_file()` returns a `const char *`, indicating that callers are not expected to free its result (similar to, e.g., `oid_to_hex()`). But callers are expected to free its result, so this return type is incorrect. Change the function's signature to return a non-const `char *`, and free it at the end of `stage_tmp_packfiles()`.
