bdiff: use Python memory allocator in fixws

Python has its own memory allocation APIs. For allocations
<= 512 bytes, it allocates memory from arenas. This means that
average small allocations don't call the system allocator, which
makes them faster. Also, arena allocations cut down on memory
fragmentation, which can matter for performance in long-running
processes.

Another advantage of using the Python memory allocator is that
allocations are tracked by Python. This is a bigger deal in
Python 3, as modern versions of Python have some decent built-in
tools for examining memory usage, leaks, etc.

This patch converts a trivial malloc() + free() in the bdiff code
to use the Python allocator APIs. Since the object being
operated on is a line, chances are it will use an arena. So,
this could have a net positive impact on performance (although
I didn't measure it).

Source bundle was generated with the following script:

# hg init
# echo a > a
# ln -s a l
# hg ci -Ama -d'0 0'
# mkdir b
# echo a > b/a
# chmod +x b/a
# hg ci -Amb -d'1 0'

  $ hg init
  $ hg -q pull "$TESTDIR/bundles/test-manifest.hg"

The next call is expected to return nothing:

  $ hg manifest

  $ hg co
  3 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

  $ hg manifest
  a
  b/a
  l

  $ hg files -vr .
           2   a
           2 x b/a (glob)
           1 l l
  $ hg files -r . -X b
  a
  l

  $ hg manifest -v
  644   a
  755 * b/a
  644 @ l

  $ hg manifest --debug
  b789fdd96dc2f3bd229c1dd8eedf0fc60e2b68e3 644   a
  b789fdd96dc2f3bd229c1dd8eedf0fc60e2b68e3 755 * b/a
  047b75c6d7a3ef6a2243bd0e99f94f6ea6683597 644 @ l

  $ hg manifest -r 0
  a
  l

  $ hg manifest -r 1
  a
  b/a
  l

  $ hg manifest -r tip
  a
  b/a
  l

  $ hg manifest tip
  a
  b/a
  l

  $ hg manifest --all
  a
  b/a
  l

The next two calls are expected to abort:

  $ hg manifest -r 2
  abort: unknown revision '2'!
  [255]

  $ hg manifest -r tip tip
  abort: please specify just one revision
  [255]
