remove_option() and update_option() clear the domain search list with

    while (o->domain_search_list_len-- > 0)

domain_search_list_len is unsigned, and the post-decrement runs on the
final test too. When the length reaches 0 the condition is false but
the decrement has already wrapped it to UINT_MAX, so the field is left
corrupted. The next reset then does

    o->domain_search_list[UINT_MAX] = NULL

and walks far out of bounds, writing NULL through each slot. A server
can drive this reset path against a client with PUSH_UPDATE, so on
Windows and Android this is a remotely reachable out-of-bounds write.

v2:
  Change to the semantics used for all the other lists there - set
  length to 0 and clear the list with CLEAR().
