[PATCH] include: xfuncs: employ compiler attributes to aid GCC warnings

[Ahmad Fatoum]

We already use __alloc_size and __realloc_size in <malloc.h>, so GCC can
warn about some types of memory safety issues at build-time.

Let's have the same for xfuncs.h as well and additionally specify
__returns_nonnull, so the compiler could provide better diagnostics.
