Fix a memory leak in 296d4a94e7 (diff: add -I<regex> that ignores matching changes, 2020-10-20) by freeing the memory it allocates in the newly introduced diff_free(). See the previous commit for details on that. This memory leak was intentionally introduced in 296d4a94e7, see the discussion on a previous iteration of it in https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqeelycajx.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ At that time freeing the memory was somewhat tedious, but since it isn't anymore with the newly introduced diff_free() let's use it.
