When secilc compiles the following policy:

    (block b1
        (optional o1
            (blockinherit b1)
            (blockinherit x)
        )
    )

it disables the optional block at pass 3 (CIL_PASS_BLKIN_LINK) because
the block "x" does not exist. __cil_resolve_ast_last_child_helper()
calls cil_tree_children_destroy() on the optional block, which destroys
the two blockinherit statements. But the (blockinherit b1) node was
referenced inside (block b1) node, in its block->bi_nodes list.
Therefore, when this list is used at pass 4 (CIL_PASS_BLKIN_COPY), it
contains a node which was freed: this triggers a use-after-free issue

Fix this issue by removing blockinherit nodes from their lists of nodes
block->bi_nodes when they are being destroyed. As
cil_destroy_blockinherit() does not have a reference to the node
containing the blockinherit data, implement this new logic in
cil_tree_node_destroy().

This issue was found while investigating a testcase from an OSS-Fuzz
issue which seems unrelated (a Null-dereference READ in
cil_symtab_get_datum, https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/detail?id=29861).

The patch is good, but I prefer the work to be done in
cil_destroy_blockinherit(), so I just sent out a patch based on this
one to do that.
