BUG/MINOR: sample: Free str.area in smp_check_const_meth

Given the following example configuration:

    listen foo
    	mode http
    	bind *:8080
    	http-request set-var(txn.leak) meth(GET)
    	server x example.com:80

Running a configuration check with valgrind reports:

    ==25992== 4 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 1 of 344

    ==25992==    by 0x421E42: main (haproxy.c:3175)

After this patch is applied the leak is gone as expected.

This is a fairly minor leak, but it can add up for many uses of the `bool()`
sample fetch. The bug most likely exists since the `bool()` sample fetch was
introduced in commit cc103299c75c530ab3637a1698306145bdc85552. The fix may
be backported to HAProxy 1.6+.
