Using the `MEM_*` API from C++ code was a bit annoying: * When converting C to C++ code, one often has to add a type cast on returned `void *`. That leads to having the same type name three times in the same line. This patch reduces the amount to two and removes the `sizeof(...)` from the line. * The existing alternative of using `OBJECT_GUARDED_NEW` looks a out of place compared to other allocation methods. Sometimes `MEM_CXX_CLASS_ALLOC_FUNCS` can be used when structs are defined in C++ code. It doesn't look great but it's definitely better. The downside is that it makes the name of the allocation less useful. That's because the same name is used for all allocations of a type, independend of where it is allocated. This patch introduces three new functions: `MEM_new`, `MEM_cnew` and `MEM_delete`. These cover the majority of use cases (array allocation is not covered). The `OBJECT_GUARDED_*` macros are removed because they are not needed anymore. Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D13502
