unpack-trees: don't leak memory in verify_clean_subdirectory()

Fix two different but related memory leaks in verify_clean_subdirectory(). We leaked both the "pathbuf" if read_directory() returned non-zero, and we never cleaned up our own "struct dir_struct" either. * "pathbuf": When the read_directory() call followed by the free(pathbuf) was added in c81935348be (Fix switching to a branch with D/F when current branch has file D., 2007-03-15) we didn't bother to free() before we called die(). But when this code was later libified in 203a2fe1170 (Allow callers of unpack_trees() to handle failure, 2008-02-07) we started to leak as we returned data to the caller. This fixes that memory leak, which can be observed under SANITIZE=leak with e.g. the "t1001-read-tree-m-2way.sh" test. * "struct dir_struct": We've leaked the dir_struct ever since this code was added back in c81935348be. When that commit was written there wasn't an equivalent of dir_clear(). Since it was added in 270be816049 (dir.c: provide clear_directory() for reclaiming dir_struct memory, 2013-01-06) we've omitted freeing the memory allocated here. This memory leak could also be observed under SANITIZE=leak and the "t1001-read-tree-m-2way.sh" test. This makes all the test in "t1001-read-tree-m-2way.sh" pass under "GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true", we'd previously die in tests 25, 26 & 28.
