Added two new alloca-based function macros, g_strdup_a and g_strconcat_a.

* configure.in, glib.h:
        Added two new alloca-based function macros, g_strdup_a and
        g_strconcat_a.  These are stack-based and much faster than
        their g_malloc-based counterparts.  Kudos to Ulrich Drepper
        for help on this one.
