Hi

fix a small memory leak in guc-file.l ParseConfigFile

AbsoluteConfigLocation() return a strdup string but it's never free or
referenced outside ParseConfigFile

Courtesy Valgrind and Noah Misch MEMPOOL work.

I'd like to look at this, but I haven't got time right now. Could you
add it to the next CommitFest so it doesn't get forgotten about?

I spotted and fixed this some time ago while fixing another leak, see
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commit;h=138184adc5f7c60c184972e4d23f8cdb32aed77d.
I didn't realize you had already reported it back then.

So, I've marked this as committed in the commitfest app. But thanks for
the report anyway.
