Subject: [PATCH] translate_slashes(): don't write to string literals

Currently, all three invocations of the translate_slashes() function may
lead to writes to the string literal that is #defined with the
DEFAULT_LOADER_CHAR macro. According to ISO C99 6.4.5p6, this is undefined
behavior ("If the program attempts to modify such an array, the behavior
is undefined").

This bug crashes shim on e.g. the 64-bit ArmVirtQemu platform ("Data
abort: Permission fault"), where the platform firmware maps the .text
section (which contains the string literal) read-only.

Modify translate_slashes() so that it copies and translates characters
from an input array of "char" to an output array of "CHAR8".

While at it, fix another bug. Before this patch, if translate_slashes()
ever encountered a double backslash (translating it to a single forward
slash), then the output would end up shorter than the input. However, the
output was not NUL-terminated in-place, therefore the original string
length (and according trailing garbage) would be preserved. After this
patch, the NUL-termination on contraction is automatic, as the output
array's contents are indeterminate when entering the function, and so we
must NUL-terminate it anyway.
