Merge branch 'jk/tighten-alloc'
Update various codepaths to avoid manually-counted malloc(). * jk/tighten-alloc: (22 commits) ewah: convert to REALLOC_ARRAY, etc convert ewah/bitmap code to use xmalloc diff_populate_gitlink: use a strbuf transport_anonymize_url: use xstrfmt git-compat-util: drop mempcpy compat code sequencer: simplify memory allocation of get_message test-path-utils: fix normalize_path_copy output buffer size fetch-pack: simplify add_sought_entry fast-import: simplify allocation in start_packfile write_untracked_extension: use FLEX_ALLOC helper prepare_{git,shell}_cmd: use argv_array use st_add and st_mult for allocation size computation convert trivial cases to FLEX_ARRAY macros use xmallocz to avoid size arithmetic convert trivial cases to ALLOC_ARRAY convert manual allocations to argv_array argv-array: add detach function add helpers for allocating flex-array structs harden REALLOC_ARRAY and xcalloc against size_t overflow tree-diff: catch integer overflow in combine_diff_path allocation ...

`argv_array_clear`::
Free all memory associated with the array and return it to the
initial, empty state.
+
+`argv_array_detach`::
+ Disconnect the `argv` member from the `argv_array` struct and
+ return it. The caller is responsible for freeing the memory used
+ by the array, and by the strings it references. After detaching,
+ the `argv_array` is in a reinitialized state and can be pushed
