Potential memory leak in sceHeap

[Nemoumbra]

Game or games this happens in

Not game-specific

What area of the game / PPSSPP

CLion's code inspection noticed that the function sceHeapCreateHeap (defined here) allocates the Heap object with operator new and saves its address in the heapList, after which the variable that holds onto the pointer goes out of scope as the function ends. CLion thought it's a leak, but I didn't believe it and went to check how the heapList is managed.

1. heapList is a static variable and it's only available in its *.cpp file.
2. getHeap is a static function.
3. The only operator delete that can be used to deallocate the previously saved heap instance is located in the HLE function sceHeapDeleteHeap.

I don't think the emu can prevent the leak if the user reloads the game, exists the game or loads a savestate.

What should happen

I don't think it's a very important leak (considering I couldn't remember a single game that uses sceHeap right away, it's not too widely used), but it's just way too blatant. Gotta fix that.

Interestingly enough, we've got 3 unimplemented functions in this module. Maybe for another time...

(By the way, please consider renaming found to it or iter here, because auto found suggests a boolean value).
