Patch by @ehocdet, commit message edited by @nigoroll:

The root cause of #3131 was misdiagnosed to the extent that, while this
change had prevented it, the root cause was a bug in WS_ReserveSize()
fixed in 505b7bd9

The previous tlv_string() code was correct except for the
fact that error handling should have checked for WS_ReserveSize(ctx->ws,
len+1) <= len (also spotted by @ehocdet).

Someone had mentioned at some point that we would not want to VRT_fail(),
but I think this must have been related to the proxy transport code, not
the proxy vmod.

Ref #3131
