Thad House de39877efb artf4153 Adds HAL structure memory management ...

In the current HAL, once the port structures were created, there was no
way to free the structures. The way the C++ libraries were written this
wasn't a problem, since it grabbed a copy of each and stored them in an
array on bootup. However java does not do this, and grabs new ports
every time an object is created. This causes memory leaks if an object
is ever disposed in java. The same thing looks to be happening in
python, and C# does it too currently, but that would change if this gets
merged.

Adds java memory management fixes

Adds memory management to AnalogInput and Analog Output C++

SolenoidPorts and Digital Ports are all hold static arrays with their
port pointers (although solenoid overwrites them if a new solenoid on
the same module is created), however analog always grabbed new pointers.
I would fix the solenoid one, but I don't know what the ideal way to do
it would be.

Silently ignores free(null) calls by checking passed parameter is non-null.
