[PATCH] plug memory leak in diff.c::diff_free_filepair()

When I run git-diff-tree on big change, it seems the command eats so
much memory.  so I just put git under valgrind to see what's going on.
diff_free_filespec_data() doesn't free diff_filespec itself.

[jc: I ended up doing things slightly differently from Yasushi's
patch.  The original idea was to use free_filespec_data() only to
free the data portion and keep useing the filespec itself, but
no existing code seems to do things that way, so I just yanked
that part out.]
