Kevin Reid 33ee398fda More precisely document Global::deallocate()'s safety.
There is a subtlety which "other conditions must be upheld by the caller"
does not capture: `GlobalAlloc`/`alloc::dealloc()` require that the
provided layout will be *equal*, not just that it "fits", the layout
used to allocate. This is always true here due to how `allocate()`,
`grow()`, and `shrink()` are implemented (they never return a larger
allocation than requested), but that is a non-local property of the
implementation, so it should be documented explicitly.
