unpack_trees_options: free messages when done

The strings allocated in `setup_unpack_trees_porcelain()` are never
freed. Provide a function `clear_unpack_trees_porcelain()` to do so and
call it where we use `setup_unpack_trees_porcelain()`. The only
non-trivial user is `unpack_trees_start()`, where we should place the
new call in `unpack_trees_finish()`.

We keep the string pointers in an array, mixing pointers to static
memory and memory that we allocate on the heap. We also keep several
copies of the individual pointers. So we need to make sure that we do
not free what we must not free and that we do not double-free. Let a
separate argv_array take ownership of all the strings we create so that
we can easily free them.

Zero the whole array of string pointers to make sure that we do not
leave any dangling pointers.

Note that we only take responsibility for the memory allocated in
`setup_unpack_trees_porcelain()` and not any other members of the
`struct unpack_trees_options`.
