Orkuncakilkaya 9660587e10 compiler: free a string an expression made once it has been used
The left half of a + chain, a template's pieces and holes, a number's text and a side made only to be
compared are marked fresh and freed after the +, ==, != or print that reads them. lp_int_str and
lp_long_str move their digits to the start of the buffer, so the pointer they return is the one
malloc gave. Reseeded. examples/lang/string_temps.ludic: kept intermediates stay good, and 20,000
rounds grow the heap 0 bytes (2.9 MB before).

# string_temps.ludic - a string made inside an expression and held by nothing (`a + "/"` in
# `a + "/" + b`, a template's pieces, a number's text, a side only compared) is freed as soon as it
# has been used, and one that IS held - in a variable, handed to a function, a function's result -
# is not. Prints 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and `grew 0` (the heap is read on the Mac; 0 elsewhere).
