Patch by Matthias Brinke: Correction for reverted part of his CVE-2017-5084 fix
The first entry of the array held by rVar is now used for copy-initializing
another (stack-allocated, so it'll be freed when no longer needed) PdfVariant
whose array is copied in the next line via the PdfVariant assignment operator.
This avoids use-after-free in the latter: trying to copy the first array entry
after it was freed by PdfVariant::Clear() called in there, found by zyx, thanks.
