Subject: json_quote_chararray: Always return a newly talloced array

json_quote_chararray: Always return a newly talloced array

The special case for len==0 was wrong---the normal code path is to
talloc to get a newly allocated, editable string, that might be
talloc_free'd later. It makes more sense just to let the len==0
behaviour fall through into the normal case code.

This results in the same value being returned, but with the proper
memory handling.
