SSH Memory Leak Patch

Code inspection revealed a memory leak in the authmethod_get function. 
authmethod_get calls the function match_list which in turn creates a
string on the heap and returns it to authmethod_get.  authmethod_get
does not free the returned buffer containing the string once it has
finished with it (leaving the string on the heap).  The attached patch
fixes this memory leak.
