[fedora-virt] [PATCH libguestfs] use xmalloc and xcalloc in generated code

Hi Rich,
I noticed that there were some unchecked malloc and calloc return values.
That could result in NULL deref upon failed allocation. Based on what
you said about there not being much point in trying to recover from OOM
errors, I made the small textual change to convert e.g., malloc(n) to
xmalloc(g,n) where xmalloc now ends up calling g->abort_cb upon malloc
failure. Then any following dereference of the result is guaranteed to
be valid.
Since I did the same with the calloc->xcalloc transformation,
I needed a corresponding guestfs_safe_calloc function wrapper.

Subject: [PATCH] use xmalloc and xcalloc in generated code
* src/generator.ml (xmalloc): Define to guestfs_safe_malloc.
(xcalloc): Define to guestfs_safe_calloc.
[most generated code]: Fail immediately upon failure of otherwise-
unchecked malloc and calloc calls.
* src/guestfs.c: Include <stddef.h>.
(xalloc_oversized): Define.
* src/guestfs.h (guestfs_safe_calloc): Declare.
