[swig]: Fix swig template memory leak on issue 17025 (sonic-net#876) (s…

…onic-net#878)

Fix the issue sonic-net/sonic-buildimage#17025 about Redis set activity

Description
The issue reports a memory leak on the Redis set operations

Reason
Didn't decrease the reference count after PySequence_GetItem
Use the inappropriate Swig API and didn't release the string of SWIG_AsPtr_std_string
Fix:
Refer PR: Fix swig template memory leak sonic-net#859 from @praveenraja1
Replace the API SWIG_AsPtr_std_string to SWIG_AsVal_std_string
Add unit test
To monitor there is no dramatic memory increment after a huge amount of Redis set operations.
