Use a ref_sorting_release() in branch.c to free the memory from the ref_sorting_options(). This plugs the final in-tree memory leak of that API. In the preceding commit the "sorting" variable was left in the cmd_branch() scope, even though that wasn't needed anymore. Move it to the "else if (list)" scope instead. We can also move the "struct string_list" only used for that branch to be declared in that block That "struct ref_sorting" does not need to be "static" (and isn't re-used). The "ref_sorting_options()" will return a valid one, we don't need to make it "static" to have it zero'd out. That it was static was another artifact of the pre-image of the preceding commit.
