stash_msg is just a pointer to stash_msg_buf.buf here..

We release the strbuf here, which means stash_msg_buf.buf is now
'strbuf_slopbuf', which is a global variable and can't be free'd. If
stash_msg is not changed within do_create_stash, it is now pointing to
'strbuf_slopbuf', and we try to free that below, which makes git
crash in t3903.44, which breaks bisection.

I think the following diff fixes memory management, by making
do_push_stash responsible for freeing stash_msg when it's done with
it, while the callers of do_create_stash have to free the parameter
they pass in (although it may be pointing to something different than
what was passed in).

The above, as well as the some of the changes I quoted above should
probably be squashed in to the relevant patches, rather than being
part of this patch ("stash: convert create to builtin", and "stash:
convert save to builtin").
