Fix usage_count for parent tvbuff_t values.

The patch fixes the usage_count of parent tvbuff_t.  Also updates tvbtest.c
code to free all memory as a testcase of this bug.

Also there was a problem with composite type tvbuff's, the member tvbuffs where
added to the used_in list which increases the composite's usage_count, but on
freeing the usage_count of the members where decrease.  This would also cause
composites to leak.
