checkout: clarify memory ownership in unique_tracking_name()

The function `unique_tracking_name()` returns an allocated string, but
does not clearly indicate this because its return type is `const char *`
instead of `char *`. This has led to various callsites where we never
free its returned memory at all, which causes memory leaks.

Plug those leaks and mark now-passing tests as leak free.
