scpi: document callers' responsibility to free getters' allocated memory
Some of the SCPI getter routines allocate memory for response data which callers need to free after use. Document this responsibility in more places, and rephrase existing locations for consistency. See a word-diff for the essence of the commit. It's assumed that the separate paragraph in the function description is better perceived than something that's hidden in the parameter or return value discussion. Also reference the corresponding free routine by name for callers' convenience (data types will differ among routines). Some free routines can be called unconditionally, others require NULL checks at the caller's. Reported-By: Ralf <jr-oss@gmx.net>
