We had one more report from Coverity Scan after we brought 9.1p1 into
the FreeBSD base system. It complains that calls like "path1 =
make_absolute_pwd_glob(path1, *pwd);" in sftp.c leak the allocation.
All make_absolute_pwd_glob() calls but one are of that form, so
perhaps have it consume and free the first arg, as below (and
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D37253)?
