Description:
The return value for a packet->append() call within Log_event::read_log_event is ignored, in log_event.cc:667:

  packet->append(buf, sizeof(buf));

We should be checking the return on this, in case of memory allocation failures. 

How to repeat:
N/A

   - Improve error handling for "out of memory" problems when master is
     sending logs to slave. If memory allocation fails the log should
     now  report error "memory allocation failed reading log event"
