glib-compat: Introduce g_memdup2() wrapper
When experimenting raising GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED to 2.68 (Fedora 34 provides GLib 2.68.1) we get: hw/virtio/virtio-crypto.c:245:24: error: 'g_memdup' is deprecated: Use 'g_memdup2' instead [-Werror,-Wdeprecated-declarations] ... g_memdup() has been updated by g_memdup2() to fix eventual security issues (size argument is 32-bit and could be truncated / wrapping). GLib recommends to copy their static inline version of g_memdup2(): https://discourse.gnome.org/t/port-your-module-from-g-memdup-to-g-memdup2-now/5538 Our glib-compat.h provides a comment explaining how to deal with these deprecated declarations (see commit e71e8cc0355 "glib: enforce the minimum required version and warn about old APIs"). Following this comment suggestion, implement the g_memdup2_qemu() wrapper to g_memdup2(), and use the safer equivalent inlined when we are using pre-2.68 GLib.
