tools: Fix use-after-free for realloc(..., 0)
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:
