Check for and handle calloc(p, 0) = NULL.
On some platforms (AIX, maybe others) allocating zero bytes of memory
via the various *alloc functions returns NULL, which is permitted
by the standards. Autoconf has some macros for detecting this (with
the exception of calloc for some reason) so use these and if necessary
activate shims for them. ok djm@
