Fix an edge case that was missed when the dir_clear() call was added inmainteceba53214
(dir: fix problematic API to avoid memory leaks, 2020-08-18), we need to also clean up when we're about to exit with non-zero. That commit says, on the topic of the dir_clear() API and UNLEAK(): [...]two of them clearly thought about leaks since they had an UNLEAK(dir) directive, which to me suggests that the method to free the data was too unclear. I think that0e5bba53af
(add UNLEAK annotation for reducing leak false positives, 2017-09-08) which added the UNLEAK() makes it clear that that wasn't the case, rather it was the desire to avoid the complexity of freeing the memory at the end of the program. This does add a bit of complexity, but I think it's worth it to just fix these leaks when it's easy in built-ins. It allows them to serve as canaries for underlying APIs that shouldn't be leaking, it encourages us to make those freeing APIs nicer for all their users, and it prevents other leaking regressions by being able to mark the entire test as TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true.
