[svn-r24937] Adds an H5free_memory() function to the library for use with
functions that return library-allocated memory. The test and tool code were modified to use this new function where it's appropriate. Fixes HDFFV-7710, HDFFV-8519, and HDFFV-8551 Tested on: 64-bit Windows 7 w/ VS2012 32-bit LE linux w/ parallel and fortran (jam) 32-bit LE linux w/ fortran and C++ (jam)
