This macro will read a pointer of any type, return it, and set the pointer to NULL. This is useful as an explicit concept of passing ownership of a memory area between pointers. This takes inspiration from Rust: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.Option.html#method.take and was suggested by Alan Jenkins (@sourcejedi). It drops ~160 lines of code from our codebase, which makes me like it. Also, I think it clarifies passing of ownership, and thus helps readability a bit (at least for the initiated who know the new macro)
