Make build_property() xstrdup its name argument

The name field of 'struct property' was really always supposed to be a
malloc()ed string, that is owned by the structure.  To avoid an extra
strdup() for strings coming up from the lexer, build_property() and
build_property_delete() expect to take such an already malloc()ed string,
which means it's not correct to pass it a static string literal.

That's a pretty non-obvious constraint, so a bunch of incorrect uses have
crept in.  Really, avoiding the extra dup from the lexer isn't a big enough
benefit for this demonstrably dangerous interface.  So change it to do the
xstrdup() itself, removing the burden from callers.
