 We have allocate_and_copy_string() in Rust, which uses tor_malloc():
 https://github.com/torproject/tor/blob/master/src/rust/tor_allocate/tor_allocate.rs#L30

 We need to update our RustCodingStandards.md to mention
 allocate_and_copy_string():
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/doc/HACKING/CodingStandardsRust.md#n374

 I'll open another ticket.
