[PATCH] Destroy created APR allocator.

Serf has code in allocator.c to conditionally create an APR allocator 
(apr_allocator_create) when inheriting an existing one doesn't pan out.  
However, it doesn't also have code to destroy that allocator when we're done 
with it.

In issue 76, a user contributed a patch to remedy this.  I've posted a modified 
version thereof here in a separate issues so it doesn't get overlooked.  (My 
version avoids explicitly setting a value already zeroed out via apr_calloc(), 
performs a more general boolean conditional test, and adds a code comment.)

{{{
* buckets/allocator.c

  (serf_bucket_alloc_t): Add 'own_allocator' boolean flag.
  (allocator_cleanup): If we created the associated apr_allocator_t,
    destroy it here.
  (serf_bucket_allocator_create): If we created an apr_allocator_t,
    remember that fact by setting the new 'own_allocator' flag.
