Nicolas Williams 50eb3bc245 asn1: Fix 1-byte leaks in der_copy_octet_string()
We sometimes do things like `memset(&cert, 0, sizeof(cert))` then
`copy_Certificate(&cert, &cert_copy)`, and then we end up leaking a
byte in `der_copy_octet_string()` due to it having this code:

```C
der_copy_octet_string (const heim_octet_string *from, heim_octet_string *to)
{
    assert(from->length == 0 || (from->length > 0 && from->data != NULL));
    if (from->length == 0)
	to->data = calloc(1, 1);
    else
	to->data = malloc(from->length);
    ...
}
```

The traces where this happens always involve the `_save` field of
`Name` or `TBSCertificate`.

This code was assuming that length 0 octet strings are expected to have
a non-NULL `data`, probably in case the C library's allocator returns
non-NULL pointers for `malloc(0)`, but then, why not just call
`malloc(0)`?  But calling `malloc(0)` would then still lead to this leak
in on such systems.

Now, `der_free_octet_string()` does unconditionally `free()` the
string's `data`, so the leak really is not there but elsewhere, probably
in `lib/asn1/template.c:_asn1_free()`, but it clearly does
`der_free_octet_string()` the `_save` field of types that have it.
