Subject: Harden allocation failure handling and size arithmetic

- check malloc/calloc/realloc results in constructors, the JSON and
  OpenStep writers, the XML text-part helpers and base64 decoding, and
  return PLIST_ERR_NO_MEM instead of asserting or dereferencing NULL
- guard size calculations against overflow in the UTF-8/UTF-16BE
  conversions, ptrarray, and bytearray
- make hash_table_insert() report failure instead of silently dropping
  the entry; writers propagate PLIST_ERR_NO_MEM, and dict lookup caches
  are discarded so lookups fall back to a linear search
- don't overwrite an earlier parse error code in the XML parser, and
  report PLIST_ERR_NO_MEM when reading text content fails for lack of memory
- OpenStep parser: check node/data/string allocations and dict/array
  insertion results

Based on #323 by bg0d-droid.
