src: remove UncheckedMalloc(0) workaround

Assuming that UncheckedMalloc(0) returns a non-nullptr is non-standard
and we use other allocators as well (e.g., OPENSSL_malloc) that do not
guarantee this behavior. It is the caller's responsibility to check that
size != 0 implies UncheckedMalloc(size) != nullptr, and that's exactly
what the checked variants (Malloc etc.) already do.

The current behavior is also inconsistent with UncheckedRealloc(), which
always returns a nullptr when the size is 0, and with the documentation
in src/README.md.
