Optimize expandMacro() a bit, based on patch by Alexey Tourbin

- Avoid the expensive calloc() when creating a macro expansion buffer,
  malloc() suffices just as well as long as we initialize the first
  byte in the buffer. This is easily visible on wall-clock times.
- Avoid recalculating source string length: when caller doesn't
  pass slen, we always calculate the string length for creating
  a terminated copy, no need to redo it...
- Add a warning comment about the seemingly obvious optimization
  breaking macro undefining itself, this is starting to look like
  a recurring theme :)
