    free: instead of Curl_safefree() · 0f4a03cb
    Daniel Stenberg authored
    Since we just started make use of free(NULL) in order to simplify code,
    this change takes it a step further and:
    
    - converts lots of Curl_safefree() calls to good old free()
    - makes Curl_safefree() not check the pointer before free()
    
    The (new) rule of thumb is: if you really want a function call that
    frees a pointer and then assigns it to NULL, then use Curl_safefree().
    But we will prefer just using free() from now on.
