fix a memory leak in XRegisterIMInstantiateCallback
Analysis:
_XimRegisterIMInstantiateCallback() opens an XIM and closes it using
the internal function pointers, but the internal close function does
not free the pointer to the XIM (this would be done in XCloseIM()).

Subject: Re: Yet another leak in Xlib
For reference, here's how I'm calling XRegisterIMInstantiateCallback:
XSetLocaleModifiers ("");
XRegisterIMInstantiateCallback (compositor.display,
XrmGetDatabase (compositor.display),
(char *) compositor.resource_name,
(char *) compositor.app_name,
IMInstantiateCallback, NULL);
and XMODIFIERS is:
@im=ibus
