Use an upper bound for the exponentiation preflight.

PyInt::AS_NUMBER.power reaches inner_pow for non-modular int ** int. For base = 3, the current check reserves for only exponent + 1 bits, while malachite_bigint::BigInt delegates to malachite_nz::Natural::pow, which sizes the result from the full significant-bit product and then performs infallible Vec::resize and scratch vec! allocations. The check can therefore succeed before a larger allocation fails without returning MemoryError.

Pass an upper bound for the result size to this preflight:

Suggested fix

-                // |int1| >= 2 raised to v2 has at least (bits - 1) * v2 + 1 bits.
+                // Bound the full result size before calling the infallible power implementation.
                 let base_bits = int1.bits();
                 if base_bits > 1 {
-                    let bits = (base_bits - 1)
+                    let bits = base_bits
                         .checked_mul(v2)
                         .and_then(|b| b.checked_add(1));
                     reserve_result_bits(bits, vm)?;

exponentiation preflight in PyInt::AS_NUMBER.power to use an upper bound based
on the full base bit length: compute the checked size from base_bits multiplied
by v2, then add one before calling reserve_result_bits. Replace the current
lower-bound calculation while preserving its overflow handling.

Make result construction fallible, not only the preflight allocation.

reserve_result_bits allocates a temporary Vec<u64> and drops it when the helper returns. Pow::pow and base << bits then perform separate infallible allocations. If either allocation fails, the operation cannot return the intended MemoryError and can abort the process. Use a result-construction path that consumes the checked storage or propagates allocation failure from Malachite.

reserve_result_bits and the result construction in Pow::pow and base << bits so
the checked allocation is used for the result, or allocation failures from
Malachite are propagated as MemoryError. Remove the temporary Vec preflight that
is dropped before the infallible result allocation.

Make every vector growth fallible.

PySequence::extract can receive an iterable with no __len__, or with a __len__ value lower than the number of items returned by __iter__. The code converts the missing or failing length to 0, then uses infallible Vec::push for later items. A growth allocation can therefore bypass PyResult and terminate the process instead of returning MemoryError.

Suggested fix

             v.try_reserve_exact(len).map_err(|_| vm.no_memory_error())?;
             for x in iter {
-                v.push(f(x?.as_ref())?);
+                let item = f(x?.as_ref())?;
+                v.try_reserve(1).map_err(|_| vm.no_memory_error())?;
+                v.push(item);
             }
