Willy Tarreau 338c670745 MEDIUM: arg: copy parsed arguments into the trash instead of allocating them
For each and every argument parsed by make_arg_list(), there was an
strndup() call, just so that we have a trailing zero for most functions,
and this temporary buffer is released afterwards except for strings where
it is kept.

Proceeding like this is not convenient because 1) it performs a huge
malloc/free dance, and 2) it forces to decide upfront where the argument
ends, which is what prevents commas and right parenthesis from being used.

This patch makes the function copy the temporary argument into the trash
instead, so that we avoid the malloc/free dance for most all non-string
args (e.g. integers, addresses, time, size etc), and that we can later
produce the contents on the fly while parsing the input. It adds a length
check to make sure that the argument is not longer than the buffer size,
which should obviously never be the case but who knows what people put in
their configuration.
