A problem with a Str_To_F64 has been revealed by Lucy's `test_valgrind`
target.  There's a call to `strtod` in Clownfish's Str_To_F64 reads past the
end of the buffer consistently now that the nul-termination is gone from
Clownfish's String implementation.  See here for the fix on master:
https://github.com/apache/lucy-clownfish/commit/4dab61a57

This wasn't a critical problem in 0.4.x and earlier because while it was
possible to read beyond the end of the String's logical content in esoteric
cases (such as a substring), even then the actual C buffer was always
nul-terminated and `strtod` would always stop.  What's different in 0.5.x is
that `strtod` can actually read into invalid memory.

I think we may want to cherry-pick that commit and put up a new RC.  Sorry for
not flagging this earlier.

I put up RC 3 fixing both issues.
