/**
  Makes a copy of a String's buffer unless it's already heap-allocated.

  If the buffer ('str') of 'from' is on the heap, this function returns
  'from', possibly re-allocated to be at least from_length bytes long.
  It is also the case if from==to or to==NULL.
  Otherwise, this function makes and returns a copy of "from" into "to"; the
  buffer of "to" is heap-allocated; a pre-condition is that from->str and
  to->str must point to non-overlapping buffers.
  The logic behind this complex design, is that a caller, typically a
  val_str() function, sometimes has an input String ('from') which buffer it
  wants to modify; but this String's buffer may or not be heap-allocated; if
  it's not heap-allocated it is possibly in static storage or belongs to an
  outer context, and thus should not be modified; in that case the caller
  wants a heap-allocated copy which it can freely modify.

  @param  to    destination string

  @param  from_length  destination string will hold at least from_length bytes.
