perf auxtrace: Fix queue grow overflow and old array leak

auxtrace_queues__grow() has two bugs: 1. When idx is UINT_MAX, the caller passes new_nr_queues = idx + 1 = 0. The function skips growing (since any nr_queues >= 0), returns success, and the caller accesses queue_array[UINT_MAX] — an OOB heap write. Fix by rejecting new_nr_queues == 0 up front. 2. The function allocates a new queue_array via calloc and copies elements from the old array, but never frees the old array. Fix by saving the old pointer and freeing it after the copy.
