Simplify newNode() by removing special cases
- Remove MemoryContextAllocZeroAligned(). It was supposed to be a
faster version of MemoryContextAllocZero(), but modern compilers turn
the MemSetLoop() into a call to memset() anyway, making it more or
less identical to MemoryContextAllocZero(). That was the only user of
MemSetTest, MemSetLoop, so remove those too, as well as palloc0fast().
- Convert newNode() to a static inline function. When this was
originally originally written, it was written as a macro because
testing showed that gcc didn't inline the size check as we
intended. Modern compiler versions do, and now that it just calls
palloc0() there is no size-check to inline anyway.
One nice effect is that the palloc0() takes one less argument than
MemoryContextAllocZeroAligned(), which saves a few instructions in the
callers of newNode().
