PATCH: properly unset the zle registers hash



Using the address sanitizer I noticed it leaking memory corresponding to
the hash table structure allocated for the zle registers. It seems the
zleunsetfn is not suitable for it and the hash table must be explicitly
deleted when the registers parameter goes out of scope. The registers
aren't internally in a hash table.

I'm not certain whether the stdunsetfn() call should be conditional on
(exp) like in zleunsetfn. Neither explicit nor implicit unsets are
clearing the registers so I assume this is fine.

Furthermore, it is necessary for the set function for hash variables to
check (ht != pm->u.hash) before deleting ht because a copy is used for
+= assignments. I noticed two other cases of this: compstate and
mapfile. Though, mapfile triggers the address sanitizer for an invalid
free before I can verify this path with it.

sourceforge git seems to be down by the way. I was about to push commits
but it'll have to wait now.
