In a similar way to the C version of ncdu: by wrapping malloc(). It's
simpler to handle allocation failures at the source to allow for easy
retries, pushing the retries up the stack will complicate code somewhat
more. Likewise, this is a best-effort approach to handling OOM,
allocation failures in ncurses aren't handled and display glitches may
occur when we get an OOM inside a drawing function.

This is a somewhat un-Zig-like way of handling errors and adds
scary-looking 'catch unreachable's all over the code, but that's okay.
