compat/win32/syslog: fix use-after-realloc

Git for Windows' SDK recently upgraded to GCC v12.x which points out
that the `pos` variable might be used even after the corresponding
memory was `realloc()`ed and therefore potentially no longer valid.

Since a subset of this SDK is used in Git's CI/PR builds, we need to fix
this to continue to be able to benefit from the CI/PR runs.

Note: This bug has been with us since 2a6b149c64f6 (mingw: avoid using
strbuf in syslog, 2011-10-06), and while it looks tempting to replace
the hand-rolled string manipulation with a `strbuf`-based one, that
commit's message explains why we cannot do that: The `syslog()` function
is called as part of the function in `daemon.c` which is set as the
`die()` routine, and since `strbuf_grow()` can call that function if it
runs out of memory, this would cause a nasty infinite loop that we do
not want to re-introduce.
