lib: fix g_hash_table related read-after-free bug
The two g_hash_table functions (insert, add) have different behaviour with respect to existing keys. g_hash_table_insert frees the new key, while g_hash_table_add (which is really g_hash_table_replace in disguise) frees the existing key. With this change 'ref' is live until the end of the function (assuming single-threaded access to 'hash'). We can't guarantee it will continue to be live in the future (i.e. there may be a future key duplication) so we copy it with the allocation context passed to parse_references (in practice this is the notmuch_message_t object whose parents we are finding). Thanks to Tomi for the simpler approach to the problem based on reading the fine glib manual.
