This modifies most of the places we do some form of:
X = malloc(Y * Z);
to use calloc(Y, Z) instead.
Among other issues, this fixes:
- allocation of integer overflow in grub_png_decode_image_header()
reported by Chris Coulson,
- allocation of integer overflow in luks_recover_key()
reported by Chris Coulson,
- allocation of integer overflow in grub_lvm_detect()
reported by Chris Coulson.

We are often bothered by this sort of lvm warning while running grub-install
every now and then:
File descriptor 4 (/dev/vda1) leaked on vgs invocation. Parent PID 1991: /usr/sbin/grub2-install
The requirement related to the warning is dictated in the lvm man page:
"On invocation, lvm requires that only the standard file descriptors stdin,
stdout and stderr are available. If others are found, they get closed and
messages are issued warning about the leak. This warning can be suppressed by
setting the environment variable LVM_SUPPRESS_FD_WARNINGS."
While it could be disabled through settings, most Linux distributions seem to
enable it by default and the justification provided by the developer looks to
be valid to me: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=466138#15
Rather than trying to close and reopen the file descriptor to the same file
multiple times, which is rather cumbersome, for the sake of no vgs invocation
could happen in between. This patch enables the close-on-exec flag (O_CLOEXEC)
for new file descriptor returned by the open() system call, making it closed
thus not inherited by the child process forked and executed by the exec()
family of functions.

Various GRUB utilities fail if the current directory doesn't exist,
because grub_find_device() chdirs to a different directory and then
fails when trying to chdir back. Gnulib's save-cwd module uses fchdir()
instead when it can, avoiding this category of problem.

Many of GRUB's utilities don't check anywhere near all the possible
write errors. For example, if grub-install runs out of space when
copying a file, it won't notice. There were missing checks for the
return values of write, fflush, fsync, and close (or the equivalents on
other OSes), all of which must be checked.
I tried to be consistent with the existing logging practices of the
various hostdisk implementations, but they weren't entirely consistent
to start with so I used my judgement. The result at least looks
reasonable on GNU/Linux when I provoke a write error:
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
grub-install: error: cannot copy `/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi-signed/grubx64.efi.signed' to `/boot/efi/EFI/debian/grubx64.efi': No space left on device.
There are more missing checks in other utilities, but this should fix
the most critical ones.

On a UEFI system, were no boot entry *grub* is present, currently,
`grub-install` fails with an error.

grub-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: Unknown error 22020.
The error code is always different, and the error message (incorrectly)
points to efibootmgr.
But, the error is in GRUB’s function
`grub_install_remove_efi_entries_by_distributor()`, where the variable
`rc` for the return value, is uninitialized and never set, when no boot
entry for the distributor is found.
The content of that uninitialized variable is then returned as the error
code of efibootmgr.
Set the variable to 0, so that success is returned, when no entry needs
to be deleted.

The `grub_util_exec_redirect_all` helper function can be used to
spawn an executable and redirect its output to some files. After calling
`fork()`, the parent will wait for the child to terminate with
`waitpid()` while the child prepares its file descriptors, environment
and finally calls `execvp()`. If something in the children's setup
fails, it will stop by calling `exit(127)`.
Calling `exit()` will cause any function registered via `atexit()` to be
executed, which is usually the wrong thing to do in a child. And
actually, one can easily observe faulty behaviour on musl-based systems
without modprobe(8) installed: executing `grub-install --help` will call
`grub_util_exec_redirect_all` with "modprobe", which obviously fails if
modprobe(8) is not installed. Due to the child now exiting and invoking
the `atexit()` handlers, it will clean up some data structures of the
parent and cause it to be deadlocked in the `waitpid()` syscall.
The issue can easily be fixed by calling `_exit(127)` instead, which is
especially designed to be called when the atexit-handlers should not be
executed.

Depending on the OS/libc, device macros are defined in different
headers. This change ensures we include the right one.
sys/types.h - BSD
sys/mkdev.h - Sun
sys/sysmacros.h - glibc (Linux)
glibc currently pulls sys/sysmacros.h into sys/types.h, but this may
change in a future release.
