Add and apply coccinelle rules to remove "if (E)" before
"free_commit_list(E)", the function can accept NULL, and further
change cases where "E = NULL" followed to also be unconditionally.
The code changes in this commit were entirely made by the coccinelle
rule being added here, and applied with:
make contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch
patch -p1 <contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch
The only manual intervention here is that the the relevant code in
commit.c has been manually re-indented.

There are two rules for using FREE_AND_NULL in free.cocci, one for
pointer types and one for expressions. Both cause coccinelle to remove
empty lines and even newline characters between replacements for some
reason; consecutive "free(x);/x=NULL;" sequences end up as multiple
FREE_AND_NULL calls on the same time.
Remove the type rule, as the expression rule already covers it, and
rearrange the lines of the latter to place the addition of FREE_AND_NULL
between the removals, which causes coccinelle to leave surrounding
whitespace untouched.

A follow-up to the existing "type" rule added in an earlier
change. This catches some occurrences that are missed by the previous
rule.

Add a semantic patch for removing checks that cause free(3) to only be
called with a NULL pointer, as that must be a programming mistake.

free(3) handles NULL pointers just fine. Add a semantic patch for
removing unnecessary NULL checks before calling this function, and
apply it on the code base.
