ximcp: Prevent memory leak & double free if multiple %L in string

In the highly unlikely event that TransFileName was passed a path containing multiple %L entries, for each entry it would call _XlcFileName, leaking the previous results, and then for each entry it would copy from that pointer and free it, resulting in invalid pointers & possible double frees for each use after the first one freed it. Error: Use after free (CWE 416) Use after free of pointer 'lcCompose' at line 358 of nx-X11/lib/X11/imLcPrs.c in function 'TransFileName'. Previously freed at line 360 with free. Error: Use after free (CWE 416) Use after free of pointer 'lcCompose' at line 359 of nx-X11/lib/X11/imLcPrs.c in function 'TransFileName'. Previously freed at line 360 with free. Error: Double free (CWE 415) Double free of pointer 'lcCompose' at line 360 of nx-X11/lib/X11/imLcPrs.c in function 'TransFileName'. Previously freed at line 360 with free.
