ノウラ | Flare 5e2feb5ca6 alloc: fix dangling pointer in alloc_state cleanup
All callers of clear_alloc_state() immediately free what they
cleared, so currently it does not hurt anybody that the
alloc_state is left in an unreusable state, but it is an
error-prone API. Replace it with a new function that clears but
in addition frees the structure, as well as NULLing the pointer
that points at it and adjust existing callers.

As it is a moral equivalent of FREE_AND_NULL(), except that what it
frees has internal structure that needs to be cleaned, allow the
helper to be called twice in a row, by making a call with a pointer
to a pointer variable that already is NULLed.

While at it, rename allocate_alloc_state() and name the new
function alloc_state_free_and_null(), to follow more closely the
function naming convention specified in the CodingGuidelines
(namely, functions about S are named with S_ prefix and then
verb).
