Change the cleanup phase for the grep command to free the pathspec
struct that's allocated earlier in the same block, and used just a few
lines earlier.

With "grep hi README.md" valgrind reports a loss of 239 bytes now,
down from 351.

The relevant --num-callers=40 --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all
backtrace is:

[...] 187 (112 direct, 75 indirect) bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 70 of 110
