Fix regression in text_handler_multiselect in the text frontend
In commit 299ecb856359668811b6c4e5ab07290c4358d0b4, we started to use
readline to prompt the user, and as a result, the `answer` variable is
now dynamically allocated (before, it used to be a 4096 chars array on
the stack).
This broke two things.
First, the use of `sizeof(answer)` is not valid anymore, as it just
returns the size of a pointer, not the size of the memory area.
Second, even if we fix the above to get the size right, we have another
problem. There's no guarantee that `answer` is big enough to accomodate
the final answer. If we take the example of the d-i tasksel screen, the
answer from user is likely to be something like `1 7 12`, but then it's
converted to values, something like `Debian desktop environment, ...
MATE, standard system utilities`, which is much longer. So if we want to
reuse `answer` to hold the final answer, we'll need to reallocate it.
Therefore, with this commit, we do just that. We first run a loop to
compute the size needed for the answer, then we free/alloc answer for
this size, and we can finally use it.
Closes: #1025133
