[PATCH 2/4] cleanup: use internal memory allocation wrapper functions everywhere

The "x"-prefixed versions of strdup, malloc, etc. will check whether the allocation was successful and terminate the process otherwise.

A few uses of malloc were left alone since they already implemented a graceful path of failure or were in a quasi external library like xdiff.
