stash: tell setup_revisions() to free our allocated strings
In "git stash show", we do a first pass of parsing our command line options by splitting them into revision args and stash args. These are stored in strvecs, and we pass the revision args to setup_revisions(). But setup_revisions() may modify the argv we pass it, causing us to leak some of the entries. In particular, if it sees a "--" string, that will be dropped from argv. This is the same as other cases addressed by f92dbdbc6a (revisions API: don't leak memory on argv elements that need free()-ing, 2022-08-02), and we should fix it the same way: by passing the free_removed_argv_elements option to setup_revisions(). The added test here is run only with SANITIZE=leak, without checking its output, because the behavior of stash with "--" is a little odd: 1. Running "git stash show" will show --stat output. But running "git stash show --" will show --patch. 2. I'd expect a non-option after "--" to be treated as a pathspec, so: git stash show -p 1 -- foo would look treat "1" as a stash (a synonym for stash@{1}) and restrict the resulting diff to "foo". But it doesn't. We split the revision/stash args without any regard to "--". So in the example above both "1" and "foo" are stashes. Which is an error, but also: git stash show -- foo treats "foo" as a stash, not a pathspec. These are both oddities that we may want to address (or may not, if we want to retain historical quirks). But they are well outside the scope of this patch. So for now we'll just let the tests confirm we aren't leaking without otherwise expecting any behavior. If we later address either of those points and end up with another test that covers "stash show --", we can drop this leak-only test.
