bytearray: Handle realloc() failure in byte_array_grow()

byte_array_grow() assigned the result of realloc() directly to
ba->data and increased the capacity even if realloc() failed, so the
following memcpy() in byte_array_append() wrote to NULL + len.

On failure, free the old buffer and leave the byte array in a failed
state (data == NULL), which byte_array_append() already ignores. The
callers check for that state:

- the writers (bin, xml, json, openstep and the text output formats)
  return PLIST_ERR_NO_MEM instead of handing out a NULL/truncated buffer
- node_to_xml() base64-encodes <data> directly into the grown buffer,
  so it must bail out there (only guarded by assert() before)
- the OpenStep parser returns PLIST_ERR_NO_MEM for <hex data> instead of
  silently returning truncated data
