When a module was unloaded (for good) that used MODDATATYPE_CLIENT or MODDATATYPE_LOCAL_CLIENT we walked the client_list/lclient_list and freed the moddata entry for all these clients, but we did not walk the unknown_list, so connections in process. That's bad, because sometimes such moddata is allocated in HOOKTYPE_HANDSHAKE or in other routines pre-connect and since we skipped freeing them while the module was still loaded, it means we leak memory since it is also not freed on user exit. Since unloading modules permanently is not a common procedure, combined with the timing of it happening during a handshake, it took a while before this issue was found (and then easily fixed). There's also another moddata issue, but that is for next commit. [skip ci]
