Subject: [PATCH 1/3] xdiff: introduce XDL_ALLOC_ARRAY()

From: "Phillip Wood via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2022 15:25:32 +0000

From: Phillip Wood <[email-masked]>

Add a helper to allocate an array that automatically calculates the
allocation size. This is analogous to ALLOC_ARRAY() in the rest of the
codebase but returns NULL if the allocation fails to accommodate other
users of libxdiff such as libgit2. The helper will also return NULL if
the multiplication in the allocation calculation overflows.
