bpo-35720: Fixing a memory leak in pymain_parse_cmdline_impl() (GH-11528

) When the loop in the pymain_read_conf function in this same file calls pymain_init_cmdline_argv() a 2nd time, the pymain->command buffer of wchar_t is overriden and the previously allocated memory is never freed. (cherry picked from commit 35ca182) Co-authored-by: Lucas Cimon <lucas.cimon@gmail.com>
