gfapi: warn when glfs_realpath() returned malloc'd memory
glfs_realpath() may return memory allocated with malloc(). Depending on the memory allocator that the application uses, calling free() on the returned string can cause segmentation faults or other problems. Functions that allocate memory, need to match the free'ing of the same memory allocator and memory accounting. glibc/malloc and jemalloc/free do not match together (other allocators could probably trigger these problems as well). Applications need to provide a pre-allocated buffer, or in case glfs_realpath() allocates the memory, glfs_free() should be used to free it.
