After #932 I decided to take a closer look on memory leak reports on exit from vere, which were previously shrugged off as false positives on objects that have static lifetimes. I found that `_lick_io_exit` forgets to free the path to IPC directory before freeing the struct itself. I also decided to explicitly annotate objects that supposedly have static lifetimes, so that LSAN printouts on exit have less noise. To review: do the objects annotated with `__lsan_ignore_object` actually have static lifetimes?

On develop, if a malformed scry URL is queried, we get a leak that ASAN can detect. For example, after hitting F5 ten times at
