Subject: [PATCH 3/6] Fix: libcrmcommon: Don't leak memory in
 pcmk__cmdline_preproc.

Converting the intermediate pointer array into a gchar ** with realloc
results in something that we don't know how to free.  Do we use free
because it was constructed with realloc, or do we use one of the g_free
functions because the contents of the array were allocated with
g_strdup?

Luckily, glib already solved this problem when they made g_strsplit (and
other functions that result in a gchar **).  So, just copy what they did
there.
