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().

Examples

Standalone projects demonstrating the Ghostty library APIs. The directories starting with c- use the C API and the directories starting with zig- use the Zig API.

Every example can be built and run using zig build and zig build run from within the respective example directory. Even the C API examples use the Zig build system (not the language) to build the project.

Running an Example

cd example/<dir>
zig build run
