The new control interface command TEST_ALLOC_FAIL and GET_ALLOC_FAIL can
now be used to trigger memory allocation failures for testing purposes.
TEST_ALLOC_FAIL sets a failure conditions with
<count>:func[;func][;func]... string and GET_ALLOC_FAIL returns the
current state using the same format. Whenever an allocation is made with
a matching backtrace of calling functions, the count is decremented by
one and once zero is reached, the allocation is forced to fail.
Function names can be prefixed with either '=' or '?' to get different
matching behavior. '=' requires this specific function to be the next
one in the backtrace (i.e., do not skip any other functions in the list
which is the default behavior). '?' allows the function to be optionally
present in the backtrace.

With CONFIG_WPA_TRACE_BFD, the type cast from void* to integer was
generating a compiler warning due to the target integer being larger in
size in case of 32-bit builds. Type case to bfd_hostptr_t instead of
directly to bfd_vma to avoid this.

This converts most of the remaining perror() and printf() calls from
hostapd and wpa_supplicant to use wpa_printf().

It looks like the demangle.h from binutils-dev is not installed that
commonly anymore. Since we need only two defines from that file, replace
the header file with those defines to make it easier to build with
WPA_TRACE_BFD=y.

bfd_demangle() call could be skipped if data.function == NULL. Make sure
the already freed aname pointer cannot be used again in such a case.

This WPA_TRACE=y additions allows components to register active references
to memory that has been provided to them as a pointer. If such an actively
referenced memory area is freed, tracer will report this as an error and
backtraces of both the invalid free and the location where this pointer
was marked referenced are shown.
WPA_TRACE=y builds will now verify that memory allocation in done
consistently using os_{zalloc,malloc,realloc,strdup,free} (i.e., no
mixing of os_* functions and unwrapper functions). In addition, some
common memory allocation issues (double-free, memory leaks, etc.) are
detected automatically.
WPA_TRACE=y can now be used to enable internal backtrace support that
will provide more details about implementation errors, e.g., when some
resources are not released correctly. In addition, this will print out
a backtrace automatically if SIGSEGV is received.
