Nick Mathewson d978216dea Fix parsing bug with unecognized token at EOS
In get_token(), we could read one byte past the end of the
region. This is only a big problem in the case where the region
itself is (a) potentially hostile, and (b) not explicitly
nul-terminated.

This patch fixes the underlying bug, and also makes sure that the
one remaining case of not-NUL-terminated potentially hostile data
gets NUL-terminated.

Fix for bug 21018, TROVE-2016-12-002, and CVE-2016-1254

o Major bugfixes (parsing, security):
- Fix a bug in parsing that could cause clients to read a single
byte past the end of an allocated region. This bug could be
used to cause hardened clients (built with
--enable-expensive-hardening) to crash if they tried to visit
a hostile hidden service. Non-hardened clients are only
affected depending on the details of their platform's memory
allocator. Fixes bug 21018; bugfix on 0.2.0.8-alpha. Found by
using libFuzzer. Also tracked as TROVE-2016-12-002 and as
CVE-2016-1254.
