René Scharfe 8db127d43f reftable: avoid leaks on realloc error ...

When realloc(3) fails, it returns NULL and keeps the original allocation
intact.  REFTABLE_ALLOC_GROW overwrites both the original pointer and
the allocation count variable in that case, simultaneously leaking the
original allocation and misrepresenting the number of storable items.

parse_names() and reftable_buf_add() avoid leaking by restoring the
original pointer value on failure, but all other callers seem to be OK
with losing the old allocation.  Add a new variant of the macro,
REFTABLE_ALLOC_GROW_OR_NULL, which plugs the leak and zeros the
allocation counter.  Use it for those callers.
