//	Frees and clears (sets to NULL) each non-null pointer in given array.
//
//	This is twice as fast as freeing them one-by-one. If footers are
//	used, pointers that have been allocated in different mspaces are
//	not freed or cleared, and the count of all such pointers is returned.
//	For large arrays of pointers with poor locality, it may be worthwhile
//	to sort this array before calling bulk_free.
