Note: No "x" in the name and it doesn't handle mem_pool_alloc()
returning NULL.

Can mem_pool_alloc() actually return NULL?  It will rather die because
it uses xmalloc(), right?  So that check is unnecessary.

And since "mem_pool_" already implies that these functions won't return
if an allocation fails, no extra "x" is needed in their name.

Hmm, this would be our first caller of strnlen().  wrapper.c::xstrndup()
uses memchr() instead.  It was added in 2008, and strnlen() is in
POSIX.1-2008, so back then it made sense.  Perhaps there are still
systems out there without one?

The same comments as on mem_pool_xstrdup() apply here.
