format-patch: unleak "-v <num>"

The "subject_prefix" member of "struct revision" usually is set to a
borrowed string (either a string literal like "PATCH" that appear in
the program text as a hardcoded default, or the value of
"format.subjectprefix") and is never freed when the containing
revision structure is released.  The "-v <num>" codepath however
violates this rule and stores a pointer to an allocated string to
this member, relinquishing the responsibility to free it when it is
done using the revision structure, leading to a small one-time leak.

Instead, keep track of the string it allocates to let the revision
structure borrow, and clean it up when it is done.
