While looking around to fix the pg_malloc(0) issue, I noticed that
various other pieces of code such as pg_basebackup have essentially
identical functions, except they're called xmalloc(). I propose to
standardize all these things on this set of names:
pg_mallocpg_malloc0 (for malloc-and-zero behavior)pg_calloc (randomly different API for
pg_malloc0)pg_reallocpg_freepg_strdup
Any objections?
