Return the memory block at the specified `address` back to this allocator. If `address` is 0, this function has no effect (e.g., on allocation statistics). Otherwise, decrease the number of currently allocated bytes by the size originally requested for the block. The behavior is undefined unless `address` was allocated using this allocator object and has not already been deallocated.
