_alpm_lstat: only duplicate string if necessary
The vast majority of the time we will just be passing the same string value on to the lstat() call. The only time we need to duplicate it is if the path ends in '/'. In one run using a profiler, only 400 of the 200,000 calls (0.2%) required the string to be copied first. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
