Fix undocumented free() in x509_string_to_names()

Now programs/x509/cert_write san="DN:CN=#0000;DN:CN=#0000" is no longer
crashing with use-after-free, instead it's now failing cleanly:

 failed
  !  mbedtls_x509_string_to_names returned -0x2800 - X509 - Input invalid

That's better of course but still not great, will be fixed by future
commits.
