r4473: - moved talloc into its own lib/talloc/ area

- added gcov flags to Makefile.talloc

- expanded talloc testsuite to add a test for realloc with a child ptr

- fixed a bug in talloc_realloc() with realloc of a ptr that has child ptrs
(This used to be commit 98b5f73c1ba34d7576c5995069b485c1c5ede324)
