Add xmemdupz() that duplicates a block of memory, and NUL terminates it.
A lot of places in git's code use code like:
char *res;
len = ... find length of an interesting segment in src ...;
res = xmalloc(len + 1);
memcpy(res, src, len);
res[len] = '\0';
return res;
A new function xmemdupz() captures the allocation, copy and NUL
termination. Existing xstrndup() is reimplemented in terms of
this new function.
