    Always nul-terminate the result passed to evdns_server_add_ptr_reply
    
    In dnsserv_resolved(), we carefully made a nul-terminated copy of the
    answer in a PTR RESOLVED cell... then never used that nul-terminated
    copy.  Ouch.
    
    Surprisingly this one isn't as huge a security problem as it could be.
    The only place where the input to dnsserv_resolved wasn't necessarily
    nul-terminated was when it was called indirectly from relay.c with the
    contents of a relay cell's payload.  If the end of the payload was
    filled with junk, eventdns.c would take the strdup() of the name [This
    part is bad; we might crash there if the cell is in a bad part of the
    stack or the heap] and get a name of at least length
    495[*]. eventdns.c then rejects any name of length over 255, so the
    bogus data would be neither transmitted nor altered.
    
      [*] If the name was less than 495 bytes long, the client wouldn't
         actually be reading off the end of the cell.
    
    Nonetheless this is a reasonably annoying bug.  Better fix it.
    
    Found while looking at bug 2332, reported by doorss.  Bugfix on
    0.2.0.1-alpha.
