v2: move the free()s to the function that calls scandir

80 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 411 of 631
   at 0x4C2779D: malloc (vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so)
   by 0x4C27927: realloc (vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so)
   by 0x696A80D: scandir (scandir.c:108)
   by 0x4D8828: OpenConfigDir (scan.c:854)
   by 0x4D8A43: xf86openConfigDirFiles (scan.c:952)
   by 0x49031F: xf86HandleConfigFile (xf86Config.c:2327)
   by 0x49A9E3: InitOutput (xf86Init.c:365)
   by 0x425A7A: main (main.c:204)

If we're going to move "free(list)" to outside the AddConfigDirFiles function,
we must also move the "free(list[i])". IMHO, keeping these split as it was
before is not a good idea. So either we keep this or v1.
