cext: fix memory leak in phases computation

Without this a buffer whose size in bytes is the number of
changesets in the repository is leaked each time the repository is
opened and changeset phases are computed.

Impact: the current code in hgwebdir creates a new `localrepository`
instance for each HTTP request. Since any pull or push is made of several
requests, a team of 100 people can easily produce thousands of such
requests per day.

Being a low-level malloc, this leak can't be seen with the gc module and
tools relying on that, but was spotted by valgrind immediately.

Reproduction
------------

  for i in range(cl_args.iterations):
      repo = hg.repository(baseui, repo_path)
      rev = repo.revs(rev).first()
      ctx = repo[rev]

  del ctx
  del repo
  # avoid any pollution by other type of leak
  # (that should be fixed in 5.8)
  repoview._filteredrepotypes.clear()

  gc.collect()

Measurements
------------

Resident Set Size (RSS), taken on a clone of
mozilla-central for performance analysis (440 000
changesets).

before:
  5.8+hg19.5ac0f2a8ba72  1000 iterations: 1606MB
  5.8+hg19.5ac0f2a8ba72 10000 iterations: 5723MB
after:
  5.8+hg20.e2084d39e145  1000 iterations:  555MB
  5.8+hg20.e2084d39e145 10000 iterations:  555MB
         (double checked, not a copy/paste error)

(e2084d39e14 is the present changeset, before amendment
of the message to add the measurements)

With rewrite.empty-successor=skip, b2 is skipped because it would become empty.

  $ hg rebase -s 2 -d 1 --config rewrite.empty-successor=skip --dry-run
  starting dry-run rebase; repository will not be changed
  rebasing 2:6e2aad5e0f3c tip "b2"
  note: not rebasing 2:6e2aad5e0f3c tip "b2", its destination already has all its changes
  dry-run rebase completed successfully; run without -n/--dry-run to perform this rebase

With rewrite.empty-successor=keep, b2 will be recreated although it became empty.

  $ hg rebase -s 2 -d 1 --config rewrite.empty-successor=keep
  rebasing 2:6e2aad5e0f3c tip "b2"
  note: created empty successor for 2:6e2aad5e0f3c tip "b2", its destination already has all its changes
