#24337: Every _free() function should be a macro that sets the corresponding
pointer to NULL.

------------------------------+--------------------------------
Our tor_free() macros has saved us a bunch of trouble in the past by
ensuring that once we've freed a pointer, that pointer gets set to NULL.
Wouldn't it be cool if all of our free() calls did this? It should make
our code generally less error-prone.
As we work on #23847, I bet we will find it extremely helpful.
