Autodiscover memleak

[rsafonseca]

Proposed commit message

Fix memory leak in autodiscovery
Before this change, start events were never removed from memory due to a permanent reference to mapstr.Clone() object containing the full event
After this change, the event is freed from memory as soon as handle_start finishes, maintaining only the metadata of the even in memory
After a stop event, all existing references to the metadata of the stopped config are now removed from the autodiscover meta map
