Peter Krempa 8dfb12cb77 udevListInterfaces: Honour array length for zero-length NULL arrays (CVE-2024-8235)
The refactor of 'udevListInterfacesByStatus()' which attempted to make
it usable as backend for 'udevNumOfInterfacesByStatus()' neglected to
consider the corner case of 'g_new0(..., 0)' returning NULL if the user
actually requests 0 elements.

As the code was modified to report the full number of interfaces in the
system when the list of names is NULL, the RPC code would be asked to
serialize a NULL-list of interface names with declared lenth of 1+
causing a crash.

To fix this corner case we make callers pass '-1' as @names_len (it's
conveniently an 'int' due to RPC type usage) if they don't wish to fetch
the actual list and convert all decisions to be done on @names_len being
non-negative instead of @names being non-NULL.
