[Bug-readline] Readline cleanup (memory leaks)

 I run valgrind for freeciv (www.freeciv.org/) and got several reports
about unfreed memory related to rl_initialize(). I wonder if we are
using readline incorrectly (should some cleanup function been called?)
or if these are actually readline problems.

 If it's not about wrong usage, I can send detailed reports. Call
chain for all of them seems to start as:
rl_initialize() -> _rl_init_terminal_io() -> tgetent()
