compat/win32: correct for incorrect compiler warning
The 'win build' job of our CI build is failing with the following error: compat/win32/syslog.c: In function 'syslog': compat/win32/syslog.c:53:17: error: pointer 'pos' may be used after \ 'realloc' [-Werror=use-after-free] 53 | memmove(pos + 2, pos + 1, strlen(pos)); CC compat/poll/poll.o | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ compat/win32/syslog.c:47:23: note: call to 'realloc' here 47 | str = realloc(str, st_add(++str_len, 1)); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ However, between this realloc() and the use we have a line that resets the value of 'pos'. Thus, this error is incorrect. It is likely due to a new version of the compiler on the CI machines. Instead of waiting for a new compiler, create a new variable to avoid this error.
