libgomp.texi: Note to 'Memory allocation' sect and missing mem-memory routines
This commit completes the documentation of the OpenMP memory-management routines, except for the unimplemented TR11 additions. It also makes clear in the 'Memory allocation' section of the 'OpenMP-Implementation Specifics' chapter under which condition OpenMP managed memory/allocators are used. libgomp/ChangeLog: * libgomp.texi: Fix some typos. (Memory Management Routines): Document remaining 5.x routines. (Memory allocation): Make clear when the section applies.
