* _gnutls_alt_name_assign_virt_type: Fix memory leak

Signed-off-by: Tim Rühsen <tim.ruehsen at gmx.de>

## Short explanation
`_gnutls_alt_name_assign_virt_type()` takes ownership of `othername_oid` in case of success.  
The callers free `othername_oid` in case of error.

But this isn't true for cases where `type > GNUTLS_SAN_MAX` - `othername_oid` isn't consumed nor freed.

This MR frees `othername_oid` in the success case and when `type > GNUTLS_SAN_MAX`.
