It is often useful to instrument memory management functions in order to
find leaks or performance problems. This patch adds trace events for
the memory allocation primitives.

We don't have an equivalent to mmap in the qemu block API, so read and
write the bitmap directly. At least in the dumb implementation added
in this patch this is a lot less efficient, but it means cow can also
work on windows, and over nbd or curl. And it fixes qemu-iotests testcase
012 which did not work properly due to issues with read-only mmap access.
In addition we can also get rid of the now unused get_mmap_addr function.

Avoids the memset if the allocator has gotten new zeroed
storage from the operating system.

No functional change. Bonus: looks just like qemu_malloc() now.

qemu_malloc() does not allow size=0 to be passed in and aborts on this behavior.
Unfortunately, there is good reason to believe that within qemu, there are a
number of, so far, undetected places that assume size=0 can be safely passed.
Since we do not want to abort unnecessarily in production builds, return
qemu_malloc(1) whenever the version file indicates that this is a production
build.

For qemu_realloc with size == 0 a result of NULL is perfectly fine

Memory allocation failures are a very rare condition on virtual-memory
hosts. They are also very difficult to handle correctly (especially in a
hardware emulation context). Because of this, it is better to gracefully
terminate emulation rather than executing untested or even unwritten recovery
code paths.
This patch changes the qemu memory allocation routines to terminate emulation
if an allocation failure is encountered.

Also optimise qemu_strdup by using memcpy - using pstrcpy is usually
suboptimal.

qemu_strdup() doesn't copy a last character because of off by one error.
