Code Review
This pull request introduces a significant optimization to the diff_string_lists function. The changes effectively reduce memory allocations by avoiding talloc_strdup when building the initial hash table and by pre-allocating the result arrays instead of using talloc_realloc inside loops.
However, I've found a critical issue where the return value of talloc_realloc is not checked when shrinking the result arrays. This can lead to silent failures on memory allocation errors, where the function would return EOK but with a NULL list, potentially causing NULL pointer dereferences in calling code. I've added comments with suggestions to fix this.
- don't copy string to use as keys - don't realloc inside a loop - don't use `hash_keys()` to avoid data copy
