[PATCH 2/3] net: lwip: wget: free the transfer context after an aborted request

wget_do_request() keeps the transfer context on the stack and passes its
address to the lwIP httpc callbacks. If the user interrupts the transfer
with Ctrl-C while the host name is still resolving, wget_handle_request()
leaves its receive loop without tearing the connection down. The pending
DNS lookup (which lwIP cannot cancel) later resolves, the connection is
established, and httpc_recv_cb() runs against a stack frame that no longer
exists. It writes attacker-controlled TCP data through store_block() to
map_sysmem(ctx->daddr), with ctx read from reused stack.

Allocate the context on the heap and add an 'abandoned' flag. On Ctrl-C
with a request still in flight, mark it abandoned and hand ownership to
the lwIP callback, which frees the context when the connection finally
tears down; the receive, headers-done and result callbacks return early
so a stale callback neither stores data nor touches wget_info.

Fixes: 3c656c928bd7 ("net: lwip: add wget command")
