BUG/MINOR: haproxy: Free rule->arg.vars.expr during deinit_act_rules
Given the following example configuration:
frontend foo
bind *:8080
mode http
http-request set-var(txn.foo) str(bar)

After this patch is applied the leak is gone as expected.
This is a very minor leak that can only be observed if deinit() is called,
shortly before the OS will free all memory of the process anyway. No
backport needed.
