fix memory leak in recv() due to early return causing sl_91x_host_free_buffer() to never be called found during port from wiseconnect SDK 2.0 to wiseconnect SDK 3.0 causing malloc() failure after running for several minutes

It appears the VERIFY_STATUS_AND_RETURN() pattern is used throughout the SDK codebase and by design, this memory leak could also occur in

  • close()
  • select()
  • sl_wifi_connect()
  • sl_wifi_get_signal_strength()
  • sl_wifi_get_mac_address()
  • sl_wifi_get_channel()
  • sl_wifi_start_ap()
  • sl_wifi_get_pairwise_master_key()
  • sl_wifi_get_ap_client_info()
  • sl_wifi_get_firmware_version()
  • sl_wifi_get_statistics()
  • sl_wifi_generate_wps_pin()
  • sl_dns_host_get_by_name()
  • sl_wifi_wait_for_scan_results()
  • sl_si91x_configure_ip_address()
  • sl_si91x_ota_firmware_upgradation()
  • sl_si91x_recvfrom()
  • sl_si91x_select()
  • etc

I would recommend either removing the *_RETURN() pattern, or using the VERIFY_STATUS_AND_GOTO() pattern as used in sl_sntp.c

Please advise how to proceed with this.
