IMPALA-4266: Java udf returning string can give incorrect results

The memory management of string results was wrong: strings returned from
Exprs must live until the next time FreeLocalAllocations() is called.
Otherwise the buffer holding the string is freed or reused by the next
UDF call. The fix is to copy string values into a buffer with the
right lifetime.

Testing:
Added a regression test based on Bharath's example that reproduced the
bug reliably.
