Those functions are problematic, because there is no way to report
memory allocation problems without complicating the API, so we can
either abort or potentially return invalid results. None of which is
acceptable.
In most cases the caller knows the size of the name, so he can allocate
buffer on the stack and use snprintf(3) to prepare the name.
After some discussion the conclusion is to removed those functions,
which also simplifies the API.

Add an nvlist_set_error() function that can be used to force an
nvlist into the error state. This is useful both for writing
tests and for writing APIs that use nvlists internally.
