Fix lrealpath memory leak in build_id_to_debug_bfd
Valgrind reports memory leaking from build_id_to_debug_bfd:
==7261== 88 bytes in 2 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 31,319 of 35,132
==7261==    at 0x4A06BCF: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:296)
==7261==    by 0x32CA88A9B9: strdup (strdup.c:42)
==7261==    by 0xFE62AB: lrealpath (lrealpath.c:88)

This occurs because commit 1be5090b in bfd, addressing PR 11983, started
taking a copy of the input filename instead of directly caching it.  It
appears that this code was never updated to reflect that API change.

This simple patch creates a cleanup to free the return value for lrealpath.

	* build-id.c (build_id_to_debug_bfd): Add cleanup to free
	return value from lrealpath.
