If a malloc() in copy_elf_strings() failed we would call memset()
before the "did malloc fail?" check. Fix this by moving to the
glib alloc/free routines for this memory so we can use g_try_malloc0
rather than having a separate memset(). Spotted by Coverity (see
bug 887883).

We could obviously also fix this by just moving the memset after the
null check, but I think we want to move towards consistently using
the glib memory routines everywhere anyway.

Applied.  Thanks.
