This commit updates libgm2’s source files to include declarations for malloc and free from the standard C library header stdlib.h (or cstdlib in C++). Previously, these functions were declared using malloc.h, which is not part of the C standard and can lead to portability issues.
By using stdlib.h, the code becomes more compliant with C standards and more likely to compile correctly across different platforms and C library implementations.
