(verbose_)?try_malloc() to use on buf_write()

There will be more use cases for try_malloc(): see #556.

 - Reimplemented xmalloc() using try_malloc().
 - verbose_try_malloc() is just like try_malloc() but shows an out-of-memory
	 error message before returning NULL.
 - Let the compiler generate size>>1 assembly for signed types. We're not using
	 old compilers here.
 - Add proper function attributes to the new functions in memory.h
