Fix low-probability memory leak in regex execution.
After an internal failure in shortest() or longest() while pinning down the
exact location of a match, find() forgot to free the DFA structure before
returning. This is pretty unlikely to occur, since we just successfully
ran the "search" variant of the DFA; but it could happen, and it would
result in a session-lifespan memory leak since this code uses malloc()
directly. Problem seems to have been aboriginal in Spencer's library,
so back-patch all the way.
In passing, correct a thinko in a comment I added awhile back about the
meaning of the "ntree" field.
I happened across these issues while comparing our code to Tcl's version
of the library.
