object_array: use `object_array_clear()`, not `free()`
Instead of freeing `foo.objects` for an object array `foo` (sometimes
conditionally), call `object_array_clear(&foo)`. This means we don't
poke as much into the implementation, which is already a good thing, but
also that we release the individual entries as well, thereby fixing at
least one memory-leak (in diff-lib.c).
If someone is holding on to a pointer to an element's `name` or `path`,
that is now a dangling pointer, i.e., we'd be turning an unpleasant
situation into an outright bug. To the best of my understanding no such
long-term pointers are being taken.
The way we handle `study` in builting/reflog.c still looks like it might
leak. That will be addressed in the next commit.
