[PATCH weston v3 08/36] libweston: strdup head make, model, serial_number

[Pekka Paalanen]

From: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen at collabora.co.uk>

Duplicate these strings to decouple their lifetime from whatever the
backends used. This should prevent hard to catch use after frees and
such problems in the future.
