manually throw a std::bad_alloc() in place of

if (scratch_output == NULL) { scratch_output = new char[max_output]; }

around line 945 in snappy.cc.

We may need to keep a counter to only throw after 50 or so calls, otherwise WT won't start.

snappy.cc could throw an exception if an allocation for a char array fails in the function "Compress". This exception is not caught.

There's a code review for a different change that affects this line of code but does not address this issue.

This only affects Windows since other OSes don't use this function.
