Subject: [PATCH] Don't hog thread local storage, it's a scarce resource
 (RhBug:1722181)

Commit 6487e873f3169c2bffbd52808b6c749e6c104ff5 introduced a thread local
BUFSIZ static buffer for header format error reporting but thread local
storage is apparently a rather scarce resource (on some architectures
more so than others) and this is highly excessive use of that resource.
Use a thread local pointer to dynamically (re)allocated buffer instead.
