Bug #17794: addr2line.c can free(3) an invalid pointer without zlib

----------------------------------------
When built without zlib (`./configure ac_cv_lib_z_uncompress=no`), `ruby` aborts immediately after C level backtrace information is printed.

```
$ ruby -e 'Process.kill :SEGV, $$'
-e:1: [BUG] Segmentation fault at 0x000003e8000052ac
(...snip...)
-- C level backtrace information -------------------------------------------
/var/tmp/build.debug/x86_64-linux-gcc/lib/libruby.so.3.1(0x7f8abe871147) [0x7f8abe871147]
[0x7f8abe871179]
(...snip...)

free(): invalid pointer
Aborted
```

This happens because at [addr2line.c:2344](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/799ea1d1540aca03542ee31647052343507a4b41/addr2line.c#L2344) `s->ptr` can be an invalid pointer.

A patch is attached for a workaround that makes `s->ptr` either valid or `NULL`.
