[libvirt] [PATCH] virsh: Avoid division by 0 in vshCalloc

vshCalloc function uses xalloc_oversized macro that can't take 0 as it's
second argument. If vshCalloc is called with size 0, virsh ends with a
floating point exception.

This patch changes vshCalloc to return NULL if no memory is requested.
