libstdc++: Handle strerror returning null

The linux man page for strerror says that some systems return NULL for
an unknown error number. That violates the C and POSIX standards, but we
can esily handle it to avoid a segfault.

libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:

	* src/c++11/system_error.cc (strerror_string): Handle
	non-conforming NULL return from strerror.
