reflog_expire_cfg: NUL-terminate pattern field

You can tweak the reflog expiration for a particular subset
of refs by configuring gc.foo.reflogexpire. We keep a linked
list of reflog_expire_cfg structs, each of which holds the
pattern and a "len" field for the length of the pattern. The
pattern itself is _not_ NUL-terminated.

However, we feed the pattern directly to wildmatch(), which
expects a NUL-terminated string, meaning it may keep reading
random junk after our struct.

We can fix this by allocating an extra byte for the NUL
(which is already zero because we use xcalloc). Let's also
drop the misleading "len" field, which is no longer
necessary. The existing use of "len" can be converted to use
strncmp().
