free accompanying EXIF data when freeing an image
This fixes two memory bugs that only manifest with exif=1 and long-running
slideshows.
* when feh loads an image, it writes exif data to file->ed. Previously, this
data was never free'd, causing a memory leak on subsequent loads of the same
file.
* As file->ed is never free'd, the accumulated EXIF data consumes a significant
amount of memory over time. with slideshow-delay = 10 and two days of
runtime, feh may exceed 1 GB of memory usage. If the slideshow is so large
that feh does not encounter the same image twice in this time, this is not
detected as a memory leak, as each EXIF data chunk is referenced from the
filelist.
See <https://github.com/derf/feh/issues/553> for details.
Closes #553
