Fix CVE-2015-8863 (Off-by-one error in the tokenadd function in
jv_parse.c in jq allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(crash) via a long JSON-encoded number, which triggers a heap-based
buffer overflow):

Subject: [PATCH] Heap buffer overflow in tokenadd() (fix #105)

This was an off-by one: the NUL terminator byte was not allocated on
resize.  This was triggered by JSON-encoded numbers longer than 256
bytes.
