Re: [PATCH v2 04/27] format-patch: don't leak "extra_headers" or "ref_message_ids"

Fix two memory leaks in "struct rev_info" by freeing that memory in
cmd_format_patch(). These two are unusual special-cases in being in
the "struct rev_info", but not being "owned" by the code in
revision.c. I.e. they're members of the struct so that this code in
"builtin/log.c" can pass information code in log-tree.c.
Hmph, if we are eventually adding a new API function to clear a
rev-info structure, shouldn't these members be released there
instead, I wonder.

This is the only user of this member, so it does not matter too much
either way, though.
