[PATCH 4/5] use xstrdup_or_null to replace ternary conditionals

From

This replaces "x ? xstrdup(x) : NULL" with xstrdup_or_null(x). The change is fairly mechanical, with the exception of resolve_refdup, which can eliminate a temporary variable.

There are still a few hits grepping for "?.*xstrdup", but these are of slightly different forms and cannot be converted (e.g., "x ? xstrdup(x->foo) : NULL").

resolve_refdup is the interesting one to look at for readability here.
