[svn-r25014] Purpose:

    Merge of r24937 from the trunk
    Adds H5free_memory to the API. This function should be used to free
    memory allocated by the library (e.g., returned values from
    H5Tget_tag, H5Pget_class_name, etc.).

    This is mainly to help Windows applications deal with multiple CRT 
    instances, but can also be helpful when a debug memory manager is
    being used or when the HDF5 API is being wrapped for managed languages
    like Python and Java.

Tested on:
    32-bit LE linux (jam) with fortran and C++
    64-bit BE linux (ostrich)
    64-bit LE linux (koala)
