[libsoup/gnome-2-30] soup_date_new_from_string: fix an out-of-bounds memory access

    soup_date_new_from_string: fix an out-of-bounds memory access
    
    soup_date_new_from_string() would sometimes read off the end of the
    string, but tests/date didn't catch this even under valgrind, because
    all of the strings were compile-time constants and they got laid out
    in a way that never triggered a read of invalid memory. So tweak the
    test to g_strdup each string before parsing it, which will let
    valgrind notice if we read outside its bounds in the future.
