Rewrite: fix buffer overflow with overlapping captures

When the rewrite replacement string had no variables, but had
overlapping captures, the length of the allocated buffer could be
smaller than the replacement string.  This could happen either
when the "redirect" parameter is specified, or when arguments are
present in the replacement string.

The following configurations resulted in heap buffer overflow when
using URI "/++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++":

    location / {
        rewrite ^/((.*))$ http://127.0.0.1:8080/$1$2 redirect;
        return 200 foo;
    }

    location / {
        rewrite ^/((.*))$ http://127.0.0.1:8080/?$1$2;
        return 200 foo;
    }
