Alejandro Colomar 9ca6b71e76 lib/: Remove incorrect /*@out@*/ comment from functions that read the pointee
These functions (e.g., gr_free()), explicitly dereference the pointer
and read the pointee.

The /@out@/ comment, which is (almost) analogous to the
[[gnu::access(write_only, ...)]] attribute, means that the pointee can
be uninitialized, since it won't read it.  There's a difference between
/@out@/ and the GCC attribute: the attribute doesn't require that the
call writes to the pointee, while /@out@/ requires that the pointee be
fully initialized after the call, so it _must_ write to it.

A guess of why it was used is that these functions are similar to
free(3), which does not read the memory it frees, and so one would
assume that if it doesn't read, write_only (or equivalents) are good.
That's wrong in several ways:

-  free(3) does not read _nor_ write to the memory, so it would
   be slightly inappropriate to use write_only with it.  It wouldn't be
   "wrong", but [[gnu::access(none, ...)]] would be more appropriate.

-  Because /@out@/ requires that the call writes to the pointee, it
   would be wrong to use it in free(3), which doesn't write to the
   pointee.

-  Our functions are similar to free(3) conceptually, but they don't
   behave like free(3), since they do read the memory (pointee) (and
   also write to it), and thus they're actually read_write.
