Description:

facebook-json: Ensure data is null terminated for json-glib < 1.0.2

Older json-glib versions had a bug[1] in which the length parameter was
ignored and this error happened if the input was not null-terminated:

    JSON data must be UTF-8 encoded

Since these versions are expected to still be around in some distros,
this commit makes a copy with g_strndup() to ensure that it's always
null terminated.

Thanks to advcomp2019 for reporting this bug and finding a test case
where this issue is reproducible every time (receiving events of people
joining or leaving in a groupchat)
