Bug 555224 – Improve g_format_size_for_display doc
* glib/gfileutils.c: change g_format_size_for_display API doc to explicitly say that the returned string has to be freed. Change spelling of "newly allocated" to "newly-allocated" in g_file_read_link API doc to be more consistent with what is done in that file. svn path=/trunk/; revision=7572
