alloc: set up an allocator that fails before library init
We require the library to be initialized with git_libgit2_init before it
is functional. However, if a user tries to uses the library without
doing so - as they might when getting started with the library for the
first time - we will likely crash.
This commit introduces some guard rails - now instead of having _no_
allocator by default, we'll have an allocator that always fails, and
never tries to set an error message (since the thread-local state is
set up by git_libgit2_init). We've modified the error retrieval
function to (try to) ensure that the library has been initialized before
getting the thread-local error message.
(Unfortunately, we cannot determine if the thread local storage has
actually been configured, this does require initialization by
git_libgit2_init. But a naive attempt should be good enough for most
cases.)
