How could we call this module? 'realloc-ee' sounds too synthetic.
How about 'alloc-0-nonnull'?
Whatever the module's name is, it should affect malloc too, as there's
little point to adjusting realloc without also adjusting malloc. This is
needed for MS-Windows and for AIX sans __LINUX_SOURCE_COMPAT.
Similarly for alignalloc, aligned_alloc, aligned-malloc, calloc,
posix_memalign, reallocarray, safe-alloc, and maybe others. (We have too
many memory allocation modules and a cleanup is needed, but that's a
different topic....)
I don't think we need to worry about alloca and malloca as they've never
had this problem.
The lib/allocator.h API may need to change even if that's only to
commentary.
