libctf: remove ctf_malloc, ctf_free and ctf_strdup

These just get in the way of auditing for erroneous usage of strdup and
add a huge irregular surface of "ctf_malloc or malloc? ctf_free or free?
ctf_strdup or strdup?"

ctf_malloc and ctf_free usage has not reliably matched up for many
years, if ever, making the whole game pointless.

Go back to malloc, free, and strdup like everyone else: while we're at
it, fix a bunch of places where we weren't properly checking for OOM.
This changes the interface of ctf_cuname_set and ctf_parent_name_set,
which could strdup but could not return errors (like ENOMEM).

New in v4.
