Tyler Hicks ebabb30abd libapparmor: Clarify that mode strings are not to be freed ...

The aa_getcon man page only implies that the *mode strings returned by
aa_getprocattr(), aa_gettaskcon(), aa_getcon(), and aa_getpeercon()
should not be freed. A developer using the man page to build against
libapparmor may miss that subtlety and end up hitting double free issues.

This patch makes the man page more clear, makes the function comments
more clear, and changes the aa_getprocattr() *buf param to *con. The use
of *buf should reserved for the aa_get*_raw() functions that do not
allocate a buffer for the confinement context and all documents now
clearly mention that *con must be freed.

Additionally, this patch removes the line wrapping of the
aa_getprocattr_raw() prototype in the aa_getcon man page source. The
line wrapping caused incorrect formatting of the function prototype when
viewing the man page.
