Make some minor improvements in memory-context infrastructure.

We lack a version of repalloc() that supports MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM
semantics, so invent repalloc_extended() with the usual set of
flags. repalloc_huge() becomes a legacy wrapper for that.

Also, fix dynahash.c so that it can support HASH_ENTER_NULL
requests when using the default palloc-based allocator.
The only reason it didn't do that already was the lack of the
MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM option when that code was written, ages ago.

While here, simplify a few overcomplicated tests in mcxt.c.
