[PATCH 5/5] test: self: add cleanup selftest

The new __free() handlers have no user in the tree yet, so add a
selftest that exercises them: it checks that leaving the scope really
runs the cleanup, that NULL and error pointers are never passed to free(),
and that no_free_ptr() inhibits the cleanup.
