Stop leaking memory in error cases of md parsing

When clearing a list of tokens, it's important to do token_clear()
on them first, or else any keys they contain will leak.  This didn't
leak memory on any of the successful microdescriptor parsing paths,
but it does leak on some failing paths when the failure happens
during tokenization.

Fixes bug 11618; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
