/* Dynamically allocates a string of the proper length to hold the formatted
 * output. NULL is returned on error. The caller is responsible for freeing the
 * memory area using free(). The resulting string is returned in <out> if the
 * pointer is not NULL. A previous version of <out> might be used to build the
 * new string, and it will be freed before returning if it is not NULL, which
 * makes it possible to build complex strings from iterative calls without
 * having to care about freeing intermediate values, as in the example below :
 *
 *     memprintf(&err, "invalid argument: '%s'", arg);
 *     ...
 *     memprintf(&err, "parser said : <%s>\n", *err);
 *     ...
 *     free(*err);
 *
 * This means that <err> must be initialized to NULL before first invocation.
 * The return value also holds the allocated string, which eases error checking
 * and immediate consumption. If the output pointer is not used, NULL must be
 * passed instead and it will be ignored. The returned message will then also
 * be NULL so that the caller does not have to bother with freeing anything.
 *
 * It is also convenient to use it without any free except the last one :
 *    err = NULL;
 *    if (!fct1(err)) report(*err);
 *    if (!fct2(err)) report(*err);
 *    if (!fct3(err)) report(*err);
 *    free(*err);
