ref-filter: add ref_format_clear() function

After using the ref-filter API, callers should use ref_filter_clear() to
free any used memory. However, there's not a matching function to clear
the ref_format struct.

Traditionally this did not need to be cleaned up, as it was just a way
for the caller to store and pass format options as a single unit. Even
though the parsing step of some placeholders may allocate data, that's
usually inside their "used_atom" structs, which are part of the
ref_filter itself.

But a few placeholders keep data outside of there. The %(ahead-behind)
and %(is-base) parsers both keep a master list of bases, because they
perform a single filtering pass outside of the use of any particular
atom. And since the format parser does not have access to the ref_filter
struct, they store their cross-atom data in the ref_format struct
itself.

And thus when they are finished, the ref_format also needs to be cleaned
up. So let's add a function to do so, and call it from all of the users
of the ref-filter API.

The %(is-base) case is found by running LSan on t6300. After this patch,
the script can now be marked leak-free.
