We now forbid direct use of malloc, strdup or calloc within the
library and instead use wrapper functions git__malloc, etc. to
invoke the underlying library malloc and set git_errno to a no
memory error code if the allocation fails.
In the future once we have pack objects in memory we are likely
to enhance these routines with garbage collection logic to purge
cached pack data when allocations fail. Because the size of the
function will grow somewhat large, we don't want to mark them for
inline as gcc tends to aggressively inline, creating larger than
expected executables.

In particular, the warning relates to malloc(), which is
declared in <stdlib.h>. This header is now included,
indirectly, via the "common.h" header.

[sp: Credit for some of this implementation goes to Pieter, I
started off a patch he proposed for libgit2 but reworked
enough of it that I don't want to blame him for any bugs.]

These are easily built off the standard C library functions memcpy
and memcmp. By marking these inline we stand a good chance of
the C compiler replacing the entire thing with tight machine code,
because many compilers will actually inline a memcmp or memcpy when
the 3rd argument (the size) is a constant value.
