it in Novell_NCP_branch, too.

tvb_get_nstringz() needs to terminate a string with a NUL if the
end of the tvbuff is reached before the maximum_length passed by the
caller is reached and before a terminating NUL is found. In this case,
tvb_get_nstringz() returns a -1, but if the string is not artificially
terminated with a NUL by tvb_get_nstringz(), the
caller has no idea where the string should end because 1) the
return value "-1" gives the impression that the string ends
at the end of the buffer but 2) the string does
not end at the end of the buffer, but somewhere in the middle, due
to the packet being shorter than expected.

tvb_get_nstringz() and tvb_get_nstringz0() were both modified.

The FT_STRINGZ case in proto_tree_add_item() is made simpler.

During regression testing, when investigating a regression that I later
corrected, I discovered that strings added through proto_tree_add_item
(FT_STRING, FT_STRINGZ, and FT_UINT_STRING) leaked memory due to double
allocation of the string. The proto_tree_add_string*() functions do
not leak memory, since they only copy the string once. The memory
leak was fixed by adding another argument to the static function
proto_tree_set_string() to let the string ftype code know to g_strdup()
the string or not.
