revision: always store allocated strings in output encoding
The `git_log_output_encoding` variable can be set via the `--encoding=` option. When doing so, we conditionally either assign it to the passed value, or if the value is "none" we assign it the empty string. Depending on which of the both code paths we pick though, the variable may end up being assigned either an allocated string or a string constant. This is somewhat risky and may easily lead to bugs when a different code path may want to reassign a new value to it, freeing the previous value. We already to this when parsing the "i18n.logoutputencoding" config in `git_default_i18n_config()`. But because the config is typically parsed before we parse command line options this has been fine so far. Regardless of that, safeguard the code such that the variable always contains an allocated string. While at it, also free the old value in case there was any to plug a potential memory leak.
