Patch for memory loss

In File testfilesystem.c
  
SDL_GetBasePath() and SDL_GetPrefPath() are used without freeing memory which is returned by these functions

For example:
 SDL_Log("base path: '%s'\n", SDL_GetBasePath());
 SDL_Log("pref path: '%s'\n", SDL_GetPrefPath("libsdl", "testfilesystem"));

Above functions returns memory which is getting leak.

and SDL_Log being used twice for both the functions which is not required.
This is creating confusion so i removed extra code for better understanding

Patch is attached.

Thanks
Nitin
