libxc: check return values from malloc

A sufficiently malformed input to libxc (such as a malformed input ELF
or other guest-controlled data) might cause one of libxc's malloc() to
fail.  In this case we need to make sure we don't dereference or do
pointer arithmetic on the result.

Search for all occurrences of \b(m|c|re)alloc in libxc, and all
functions which call them, and add appropriate error checking where
missing.

This includes the functions xc_dom_malloc*, which now print a message
when they fail so that callers don't have to do so.

The function xc_cpuid_to_str wasn't provided with a sane return value
and has a pretty strange API, which now becomes a little stranger.
There are no in-tree callers.

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

v8: Move a check in xc_exchange_page to the previous patch
     (ie, remove it from this patch).

v7: Add a missing check for a call to alloc_str.
    Add arithmetic overflow check in xc_dom_malloc.
    Coding style fix.

v6: Fix a missed call `pfn_err = calloc...' in xc_domain_restore.c.
    Fix a missed call `new_pfn = xc_map_foreign_range...' in
     xc_offline_page.c

v5: This patch is new in this version of the series.
