libxl: abort on memory allocation errors

Use abort() instead of just _exit() in libxl__alloc_failed(). This
is more friendly for debugging, as it will trap into debugger,
systemd-coredump will collect coredump/backtrace etc. It's much more
useful than just "libxl: FATAL ERROR: memory allocation failure (...)"
message without context where it actually failed.
