Alessandro De Blasis c1e616c6cd libghostty: add ghostty_free for cross-runtime memory safety
On Windows, Zig's built-in libc and MSVC's CRT maintain separate
heaps, so calling free() on memory allocated by the library causes
undefined behavior. Add ghostty_free() that frees through the same
allocator that performed the allocation, making it safe on all
platforms.

Update format_alloc docs and all examples to use ghostty_free()
instead of free().
