VPP-635: CLI Memory leak with invalid parameter

In the CLI parsing, below is a common pattern:
  /* Get a line of input. */
  if (!unformat_user (input, unformat_line_input, line_input))
    return 0;

  while (unformat_check_input (line_input) != UNFORMAT_END_OF_INPUT)
    {
      if (unformat (line_input, "x"))
	x = 1;
      :
      else
	return clib_error_return (0, "unknown input `%U'",
				  format_unformat_error, line_input);
    }
  unformat_free (line_input);

The 'else' returns if an unknown string is encountered. There a memory
leak because the 'unformat_free(line_input)' is not called. There is a
large number of instances of this pattern.

Replaced the previous pattern with:
  /* Get a line of input. */
  if (!unformat_user (input, unformat_line_input, line_input))
    return 0;

  while (unformat_check_input (line_input) != UNFORMAT_END_OF_INPUT)
    {
      if (unformat (line_input, "x"))
	x = 1;
      :
      else
        {
	  error = clib_error_return (0, "unknown input `%U'",
				     format_unformat_error, line_input);
	  goto done:
        }
    }

  /* ...Remaining code... */

done:
  unformat_free (line_input);
  return error;
}

In multiple files, 'unformat_free (line_input);' was never called, so
there was a memory leak whether an invalid string was entered or not.

Also, there were multiple instance where:
	  error = clib_error_return (0, "unknown input `%U'",
				     format_unformat_error, line_input);
used 'input' as the last parameter instead of 'line_input'. The result
is that output did not contain the substring in error, instead just an
empty string. Fixed all of those as well.

There are a lot of file, and very mind numbing work, so tried to keep
it to a pattern to avoid mistakes.
