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.

Type: fix
