```
std.mem.ValidationAllocator: forward free() calls

Failing to forward free calls to the underlying allocator makes
`ValidationAllocator` unusable for testing allocators while checking for
leaks. This change allows allocators that wrap `std.testing.allocator`
to be tested with `std.heap.testAllocator()` in test decls without
reporting erroneous leaks.

```
