Fixed the bug reported by David Billinghurst to the MPFR mailing-list

on 2007-07-03 (memory leaks under some conditions):
  * moved the free_l2b() function from tests/tests.c to free_cache.c;
  * mpfr_free_cache() (from free_cache.c) now calls free_l2b();
  * as a consequence, no longer call free_l2b() in tests_end_mpfr();
  * documented the behavior in mpfr.texi (under mpfr_free_cache).
