fix github issue #832 - "nethack --nethackrc=file"

Issue reported by schauveau:  when the command line specifies the
'--nethackrc=file' option (Unix, including linux and OSX, only) the
value of 'file' was set in pointer g.cmdline_rcfile and the options
parsing made a copy of that pointer rather than of what it pointed
to, then freed g.cmdline_rcfile before using the copy.  So it ended
up using a pointer to freed memory.

Stick with copying the pointer but defer freeing the original until
after its copy is no longer needed.

Fixes #832
