Instead of duplicating the logic for clearing up `value_regex`, let `config_store_data_clear()` handle that. When `regcomp()` fails, the current code does not call `regfree()`. Make sure we do the same by immediately invalidating `value_regex`. Some implementations are able to handle such an extra `regfree()`-call [1], but from the example in [2], we should not do so. (The language itself in [2] is not super-clear on this.)
