[PATCH 1/3] path.c: fix uninitialized memory access

[Thomas Gummerer]

In cleanup_path we're passing in a char array, run a memcmp on it, and
run through it without ever checking if something is in the array in the
first place.  This can lead us to access uninitialized memory, for
example in t5541-http-push-smart.sh test 7, when run under valgrind:

==4423==

Avoid this by checking passing in the length of the string in the char
array, and checking that we never run over it.
