Expand palloc/pg_malloc API for more type safety
This adds additional variants of palloc, pg_malloc, etc. that
encapsulate common usage patterns and provide more type safety.
Specifically, this adds palloc_object(), palloc_array(), and
repalloc_array(), which take the type name of the object to be
allocated as its first argument and cast the return as a pointer to
that type. There are also palloc0_object() and palloc0_array()
variants for initializing with zero, and pg_malloc_*() variants of all
of the above.
Inspired by the talloc library.
