We need functions which will either call
    xmalloc, xcalloc, xstrndup
or
    mem_pool_alloc, mem_pool_calloc, mem_pool_strndup
depending on whether we have a non-NULL memory pool.  Add these
functions; the next commit will make use of these.

I briefly considered that this should just be the way the
mem_pool_* methods work. It does rely on the caller knowing
to free() the allocated memory when their pool is NULL, so
perhaps such a universal change might be too much. What do
you think?
