talloc: define TALLOC_CTX

I'm not a fan of the SHOUTING, but it's upstream.

/**
* TALLOC_CTX - indicate that a pointer is used as a talloc parent.
*
* As talloc is a hierarchial memory allocator, every talloc chunk is a
* potential parent to other talloc chunks. So defining a separate type for a
* talloc chunk is not strictly necessary. TALLOC_CTX is defined nevertheless,
* as it provides an indicator for function arguments.
*
* Example:
* struct foo {
* int val;
* };
*
* static struct foo *foo_new(TALLOC_CTX *mem_ctx)
* {
* struct foo *foo = talloc(mem_ctx, struct foo);
* if (foo)
* foo->val = 0;
* return foo;
* }

/**
* talloc_set - allocate dynamic memory for a type, into a pointer
* @ptr: pointer to the pointer to assign.
