REVISION SUMMARY
  Almost every operation performed on an nvlist was allocating a
  new string to hold the key name.  The nvlist_exists* family of
  functions would always return false if they failed to allocate
  the string.  The rest of the functions would outright abort().
  Fix the non-varargs variants of the functions to perform the
  requested operations directly and the varargs versions to
  allocate the string and call into the non-varargs versions.
  The varargs versions are still broken and really can't be fixed,
  so we might consider axing them entirely.  However, now the non-
  varargs functions are always safe to call.
