Major changes

About 40 memory errors in code paths handling malloc failures have been fixed.
While these issues shouldn’t impact security, this improves robustness under
memory pressure.

The result of generate-id() is now deterministic across multiple
transformations fixing many issues with reproducible builds.

Most of the test suite has been ported to C.
