Instead of doing

    lex = calloc(...);
    /* (error out on NULL return) */
    makeJsonLexContextCstringLen(lex, ...);

we need to do

    lex = makeJsonLexContextCstringLen(NULL, ...);
    /* (error out on NULL return) */

so that JSONLEX_FREE_STRUCT is set correctly. Otherwise we'll leak the
main allocation:

    ==12550==ERROR: LeakSanitizer: detected memory leaks
    Direct leak of 120 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:

I was more worried about it when you said you wanted to get rid of the
stack allocation API. (I like having the flexibility to choose between
the two forms, not just for performance but also for struct
embedding.) But I'm perfectly happy with just adjusting these sites.

Thanks!
