Description:
------------
When dbase_create() fails, because a field type is missing, the function
leaks the dbhead_t memory.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

dbase_create('foo.dbf', array(array('foo')));


Expected result:
----------------
valgrind reports no issues

Actual result:
--------------
valgrind reports a memory leak

Log: Properly clean up in bug73395.phpt

Even though creating the database fails, an empty file is left behind,
so we have to clean that up.
