free: instead of Curl_safefree()

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.
