odb: improve error handling in read_prefix_1 The read_prefix_1 function has several return statements springled throughout the code. As we have to free memory upon getting an error, the free code has to be repeated at every single retrun -- which it is not, so we have a memory leak here. Refactor the code to use the typical `goto out` pattern, which will free data when an error has occurred. While we're at it, we can also improve the error message thrown when multiple ambiguous prefixes are found. It will now include the colliding prefixes.
