ash: [EXPAND] Fix ifsfirst/ifslastp leak

Upstream commit:

    Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2010 20:07:26 +0800
    [EXPAND] Fix ifsfirst/ifslastp leak

    As it stands expandarg may return with a non-NULL ifslastp which
    then confuses any subsequent ifsbreakup user that doesn't clear
    it directly.

    What's worse, if we get interrupted before we hit ifsfree in
    expandarg we will leak memory.

    This patch fixes this by always calling ifsfree in expandarg
    thus ensuring that ifslastp is always NULL on the normal path.
    It also adds an ifsfree call to the RESET path to ensure that
    memory isn't leaked.

    [EXPAND] Fix ifsfirst/ifslastp leak in casematch

    The commit f42e443bb511ed3224f09b4fcf0772438ebdbbfa

        [EXPAND] Fix ifsfirst/ifslastp leak

    revealed yet another ifsfirst/ifslastp leak in casematch.
    Previously it was hidden because ifsfirst/ifslastp was cleared
    unconditionally on entry (which caused the leakage of those
    entries).

    This is the symptom of another leak.  In this case evalbackcmd
    occurs in the middle of an expansion (as it should) but the forked
    child never clears the previous IFS state.

    This patch adds the missing ifsfree call.

    This wasn't as much of a problem as the previously discovered leaks
    since all it means is that the child gets to carry around the parent's
    expansion state and the child is usually short-lived.

    [EXPAND] Free IFS state after here document expansion

    Here's another bug bisecting to f42e443bb ([EXPAND] Fix
    ifsfirst/ifslastp leak, 2010-09-08).  It was found with the following
    test case, based on the configure script for Tracker:

        dash -x -c '
                <<-_ACEOF
                $@
                _ACEOF
                exec
        ' - abcdefgh
        +
        + exec   ?a
        exec: 1: : Permission denied

    The missing ifsfree call is in expandarg when it returns to openhere
    during here document expansion.
