Subject: [PATCH] evdns: name_parse(): fix remote stack overread

@asn-the-goblin-slayer:
  "the name_parse() function in libevent's DNS code is vulnerable to a buffer overread.

971         if (cp != name_out) {
   972             if (cp + 1 >= end) return -1;
   973             *cp++ = '.';
   974         }
   975         if (cp + label_len >= end) return -1;
   976         memcpy(cp, packet + j, label_len);
   977         cp += label_len;
   978         j += label_len;
   No check is made against length before the memcpy occurs.

This was found through the Tor bug bounty program and the discovery should be credited to 'Guido Vranken'."

Before this patch:
$ gdb -ex 'source gdb' dns-example
$1 = 1073741824
$2 = (void *) 0x633010
$3 = (void *) 0x633030
$4 = (void *) 0x40200000

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
__memcpy_sse2_unaligned () at memcpy-sse2-unaligned.S:33

After this patch:
$ gdb -ex 'source gdb' dns-example
$1 = 1073741824
$2 = (void *) 0x633010
$3 = (void *) 0x633030
$4 = (void *) 0x40200000
$5 = -1
0x633030:       "/"
0x633032:       ""
(gdb) p $m
$6 = (void *) 0x40200000
(gdb) p $1
$7 = 1073741824
(gdb) p/x $1
$8 = 0x40000000
(gdb) quit

P.S. plus drop one condition duplicate.

Fixes: #317
