[PATCH 1/7] libdwfl: Cleanup user_core resources on failure in dwfl_core_file_report.

GCC10 -fanalyzer noticed that we allocate, but don't always cleanup the
dwfl->user_core if it wasn't set yet on error. In theory dwfl_module_end
should take care of it, but it is cleaner and less confusing to just do
it here.
