GCC 12 was correctly reporting a potential use-after-free condition in
the xrealloc helper. Fix the warning by avoiding an implicit "free(ptr)"
when size == 0:
In file included from help.c:12:
In function 'xrealloc',
inlined from 'add_cmdname' at help.c:24:2: subcmd-util.h:56:23: error: pointer may be used after 'realloc' [-Werror=use-after-free]
56 | ret = realloc(ptr, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
subcmd-util.h:52:21: note: call to 'realloc' here
52 | void *ret = realloc(ptr, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
subcmd-util.h:58:31: error: pointer may be used after 'realloc' [-Werror=use-after-free]
58 | ret = realloc(ptr, 1);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
subcmd-util.h:52:21: note: call to 'realloc' here
52 | void *ret = realloc(ptr, size);

I assume that testing went ok, may I add a Tested-by: you?

Tested this patch with the Fedora rawhide builds, and this does indeed
fix the issue.
