alloc: add GIT_DEBUG_STRICT_ALLOC · 48e6b02b
Add `GIT_DEBUG_STRICT_ALLOC` to help identify problematic callers of allocation code that pass a `0` size to the allocators and then expect a non-`NULL` return. When given a 0-size allocation, `malloc` _may_ return either a `NULL` _or_ a pointer that is not writeable. Most systems return a non-`NULL` pointer; AIX is an outlier. We should be able to cope with this AIXy behavior, so this adds an option to emulate it.
