Fix possible memory leak

[haraldreif]

In MQTTAsync_receiveThread, when pack is not NULL but none of the if-else if-conditions is fulfilled, pack is not freed. To fix this, an else block has been added to cleanup the memory of pack.

Hello,

I have integrated the commit of this pull request into my application. Because I wanted to verify if this fixes my memory leak found by valgrind :

==17== 13,380 (48 direct, 13,332 indirect) bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 143 of 158

Unfortunately the memory leak is still there!

Valgrind reports also this memory leaks in the context of the paho.mqtt.c library.
So I will create an issue for these memory leaks.

I believe, that is not sufficient.
Because pack points to many different structures.
E.g. if allocated inside MQTTPacket_publish(int MQTTVersion, unsigned char aHeader, char* data, size_t datalen)

pack points to this structure:

/**
 * Data for a publish packet.
 */
typedef struct
{
	Header header;	/**< MQTT header byte */
	char* topic;	/**< topic string */
	int topiclen;
	int msgId;		/**< MQTT message id */
	char* payload;	/**< binary payload, length delimited */
	int payloadlen;	/**< payload length */
	int MQTTVersion;  /**< the version of MQTT */
	MQTTProperties properties; /**< MQTT 5.0 properties.  Not used for MQTT < 5.0 */
	uint8_t mask[4]; /**< the websockets mask the payload is masked with, if any */
} Publish;

Which includes pointers to other allocated memory, which is not release in this case.
