Fix Savannah bugs #20662, 20688.
* find/find.c (at_top): Avoid memory leak. * find/pred.c (do_fprintf, pred_iname, pred_name): Likewise. (pred_name_common): New function, factored from pred_iname and pred_name. * find/parser.c (check_name_arg): Let -nowarn silence -name /. * locate/locate.c (visit_basename): Avoid memory leak. * NEWS: Document the changes. * doc/find.texi (Warning Messages): Document -nowarn's effect on -name and -iname. * find/testsuite/find.gnu/name-slash.exp: New test, to ensure 20662 doesn't regress on '-name /', and that 20688 silences the warning. * find/testsuite/find.gnu/printf-slash.exp: Likewise. * find/testsuite/find.gnu/name-slash.xo: Expected results. * find/testsuite/find.gnu/printf-slash.xo: Likewise. * find/testsuite/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST_XO, EXTRA_DIST_EXP): Distribute new tests.
