libctf, decl: avoid leaks of the formatted string on error
ctf_decl_sprintf builds up a formatted string in the ctf_decl_t's cd_buf, but then on error this is hardly ever freed: we assume that ctf_decl_fini frees it, but it leaks it instead. Make it free it like any decent ADT should. libctf/ * ctf-decl.c (ctf_decl_fini): Free the cd_buf. (ctf_decl_buf): Once it escapes, don't try to free it later.
