Some comments were wrong.

In particular, the strings read from the stream are placed in a data table, and thus the strings returned DO NOT need to be freed by the caller, they belong to the stream who handles them itself.

Also lto_output_string_with_length does handle NULL strings, removed the redundant logic.

Tested with bootstrap build and pph regression testing.

	* pph-streamer.h (struct pph_stream): Fix comment of data_in field.
	(pph_out_string_with_length): lto_output_string_with_length now handles
	NULL strings, call it directly.
	(pph_in_string): Fix comment.
