When initializing the transport helper in `transport_get()`, we
allocate the name of the helper. We neither end up transferring
ownership of the name, nor do we free it. The associated memory thus
leaks.

Fix this memory leak and mark now-passing tests as leak free.

It would be more helpful to the readers if this said "Fix this
memory leak by having the helper own the memory, and mark ...".

Not a huge deal, though.

The patch is looking good.  Thanks.

So this is done by removing the `const` from the `name` field in
`helper_data` so we can assign and free its memory. Looks good.
