When a zeroed out allocation is required, use calloc() rather than
malloc() followed by an explicit memset(). The result will be the
same, but using calloc() everywhere increases consistency in the
codebase and avoids the risk of subtle bugs when code is injected
between malloc and memset by accident.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/2497
The function "free" is documented in the way that no action shall occur for
a passed null pointer. It is therefore not needed that a function caller
repeats a corresponding check.

This issue was fixed by using the software Coccinelle 1.0.0-rc24.

This commit renames lib/setup.h to lib/curl_setup.h and
renames lib/setup_once.h to lib/curl_setup_once.h.
Removes the need and usage of a header inclusion guard foreign
to libcurl. [1]
Removes the need and presence of an alarming notice we carried
in old setup_once.h [2]
----------------------------------------
1 - lib/setup_once.h used __SETUP_ONCE_H macro as header inclusion guard
up to commit ec691ca3 which changed this to HEADER_CURL_SETUP_ONCE_H,
this single inclusion guard is enough to ensure that inclusion of
lib/setup_once.h done from lib/setup.h is only done once.
Additionally lib/setup.h has always used __SETUP_ONCE_H macro to
protect inclusion of setup_once.h even after commit ec691ca3, this
was to avoid a circular header inclusion triggered when building a
c-ares enabled version with c-ares sources available which also has
a setup_once.h header. Commit ec691ca3 exposes the real nature of
__SETUP_ONCE_H usage in lib/setup.h, it is a header inclusion guard
foreign to libcurl belonging to c-ares's setup_once.h
The renaming this commit does, fixes the circular header inclusion,
and as such removes the need and usage of a header inclusion guard
foreign to libcurl. Macro __SETUP_ONCE_H no longer used in libcurl.
2 - Due to the circular interdependency of old lib/setup_once.h and the
c-ares setup_once.h header, old file lib/setup_once.h has carried
back from 2006 up to now days an alarming and prominent notice about
the need of keeping libcurl's and c-ares's setup_once.h in sync.
Given that this commit fixes the circular interdependency, the need
and presence of mentioned notice is removed.
All mentioned interdependencies come back from now old days when
the c-ares project lived inside a curl subdirectory. This commit
removes last traces of such fact.

If we use memory functions (malloc, free, strdup etc) in C sources in
libcurl and we fail to include curl_memory.h or memdebug.h we either
fail to properly support user-provided memory callbacks or the memory
leak system of the test suite fails.
After Ajit's report of a failure in the first category in http_proxy.c,
I spotted a few in the second category as well. These problems are now
tested for by test 1132 which runs a perl program that scans for and
attempts to check that we use the correct include files if a memory
related function is used in the source code.
