Use the newly created GCALLOC_ARRAY() helpers rather than the recently

As shown in this diff the calling convention differs, we cannot use
GCALLOC_ARRAY() as an expression, but that's an advantage in not
having to relay the "sizeof()" down via a wrapper function.

This also:

  * Fixes long-standing potential overflow issues, as we're using
    st_mult() in the underlying G_[C]ALLOC().  Note that the

What issues is this fixing? XDL_ALLOC_ARRAY() already checks for overflow.

  * Slightly optimizes the "XDL_CALLOC_ARRAY", as we'll now use
    calloc() rather than malloc() + memset() (although smart compilers
    will probably do the same for both...).

That's addressed in V2 of my series, unfortunately I sent it just after you'd sent this series.

  * Changes the "XDL_CALLOC_ARRAY" behavior where we'd shortcut if the
    size was already large enough, but this behavior was changed when
    XDL_ALLOC_ARRAY() was introduced, so this is safe.

I'm not sure what you mean here - how did we shortcut before?

I don't think that having GALLOC_ARRAY() as a statement is an improvement here.
