[v5] 9pfs: Fix segfault in do_readdir_many caused by struct dirent overread

`struct dirent' returned from readdir(3) could be shorter (or longer)
than `sizeof(struct dirent)', thus memcpy of sizeof length will overread
into unallocated page causing SIGSEGV. Example stack trace:

 #0  0x00005555559ebeed v9fs_co_readdir_many (/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 + 0x497eed)
 #1  0x00005555559ec2e9 v9fs_readdir (/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 + 0x4982e9)
 #2  0x0000555555eb7983 coroutine_trampoline (/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 + 0x963983)
 #3  0x00007ffff73e0be0 n/a (n/a + 0x0)

While fixing this, provide a helper for any future `struct dirent' cloning.

Tested on x68-64 Linux with btrfs-progs tests and qos-test -m slow.
Changes since v4:
- Zero clear V9fsSynthOpenState on allocation. Uninitialised use of
  d_reclen bug found by fuzzing. Use g_new0 instead of g_malloc0 as
  Greg Kurz suggested.

Consider donating your Tested-by tag then.

I can confirm that v4 triggered the previously discussed ASan error when
running the 9p 'synth' tests; and with this v5 ASan no longer triggers an
error.

Maybe some of the new comments could be improved, for instance ...

... here is a typo in the comment. But unless there are more issues, I could
handle such minor comment issues on my end before pushing.

The synth fixes would have deserved a separate patch and I'm
not super fan of the padding hack... I'd rather allocate the
dirent dynamically with the right size and populated according
to the _DIRENT_HAVE macros. Anyway, this fix should be enough
for now and Christian already provided his R-b, so:
