Fix leaks in the "reference" member of "struct module_clone_data" that have been with us since 31224cbdc72 (clone: recursive and reference option triggers submodule alternates, 2016-08-17) and 8c8195e9c3e (submodule--helper: introduce add-clone subcommand, 2021-07-10). Those commits added an xstrdup()'d member of the STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP'd "struct string_list". We need to free() those, but not the ones we get from argv, let's make use of the "util" member, if it has a pointer it's the pointer we'll need to free.
