general: Fix memory Corruption in __ast_string_field_ptr_build_va.

If the space left in a stringfield is between 0 and
(alignof(ast_string_field_allocation)-1) adding new data would cause
memory corruption, because we would assume enough space (unsigned
underrun).

Thanks Arnd Schmitter for reporting and finding out the cause!
