xmalloc() dies on error, allows zero-sized allocations and enforces GIT_ALLOC_LIMIT for testing. Our mmap replacement doesn't need any of that. Let's cut out the wrapper, reject zero-sized requests as required by POSIX and use malloc(3) directly. Allocation errors were needlessly handled by git_mmap() before; this code becomes reachable now.
