Expand palloc/pg_malloc API for more type safety This adds additional variants of palloc, pg_malloc, etc. that encapsulate common usage patterns and provide more type safety.
Specifically, this adds palloc_object(), palloc_array(), and repalloc_array(), which take the type name of the object to be allocated as its first argument and cast the return as a pointer to that type. There are also palloc0_object() and palloc0_array() variants for initializing with zero, and pg_malloc_*() variants of all of the above. Inspired by the talloc library.
