syscall: optimize SlicePtrFromStrings

Instead of allocating a byte slice for every string,
calculated the required size and create
a single slice big enough to hold all of them.
As an added benefit, any error encountered
will now be returned before allocations occur.

os/exec package benchmarks:

name        old time/op    new time/op    delta
ExecEcho-8    2.14ms ± 1%    2.14ms ± 3%     ~     (p=0.842 n=10+9)

name        old alloc/op   new alloc/op   delta
ExecEcho-8    6.35kB ± 0%    6.18kB ± 0%   -2.65%  (p=0.000 n=10+10)
