_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.
