The wkt encoding function leaks memory, as it does not free the C String allocated when encoding.
You can verify this with a simple example that encodes a polygon to a wkt string, and analyze the executable with Valgrind:
And here is an example of one of the lost memory records (evidently a trace to the wkt encoding):
Compare this same test with just the fix provided in this PR:
Valgrind shouldn't typically be used for analyzing executables built with Go because of the GC, but in this context we can see that the version that doesn't free the C String certainly leaks memory (as it did with our deployment, and we traced it back to this function).
