vppinfra: fix memcpy undefined behaviour
Calling mem{cpy,move} with NULL pointers results in undefined behaviour. This in turns is exploited by GCC. For example, the sequence: memcpy (dst, src, n); if (!src) return; src[0] = 0xcafe; will be optimized as memcpy (dst, src, n); src[0] = 0xcafe; IOW the test for NULL is gone. vec_*() functions sometime call memcpy with NULL pointers and 0 length, triggering this optimization. For example, the sequence: vec_append(v1, v2); len = vec_len(v2); will crash if v2 is NULL, because the test for NULL pointer in vec_len() has been optimized out. This commit fixes occurrences of such undefined behaviour, and also introduces a memcpy wrapper to catch those in debug mode.
