Optimize cstr_reset() to only reset string to empty, not call free() and later malloc()

A CString could be reset to empty just setting its .size to 0.

If memory was already allocated, that would be remembered in
.data_allocated and .size_allocated and on consequent string
manipulations that memory will be used without immediate need to call
malloc().

For

    $ ./tcc -B. -bench -DONE_SOURCE -DCONFIG_MULTIARCHDIR=\"i386-linux-gnu\" -c tcc.c

after the patch malloc/free are called less often:

(tcc is run in loop; perf record -a sleep 10 && perf report)
