support null buffer argument to getcwd, auto-allocating behavior

this is a popular extension some programs depend on, and by using a
temporary buffer and strdup rather than malloc prior to the syscall,
i've avoided the dependency on free and thus minimized the bloat cost
of supporting this feature.
