Fix segmentation fault on strftime/1 and strflocaltime/1 (#3271)

When we use a large format string to `strftime/1` and `strflocaltime/1`,
we get segmentation fault. This happens because the result buffer is
allocated on the stack using `alloca` function, and `strftime` function
writes out of the space when the size is not enough to format time.
I fixed the segmentation fault issue by allocating the result buffer on
the heap using `malloc` function, because `alloca` function does not
provide a way to detect insufficient space.
