r4550: talloc() is now typesafe. It is exactly equivalent to the old talloc_p() macro. Use

talloc_size() if you want the old behaviour.

I have kept talloc_p() as an alias for now. Once we change all calls
to be plain talloc() then we can remove it.
(This used to be commit 2011bbeb841fd6bfccf3d44a49f79203f7f55baa)
