Set up the return value of PL_strdup to *void

STR: 
1. Try to sign any app using the provided test script (security/manager/ssl/tests/unit/test_signed_apps/sign_b2g_app.py) on MacOS (tried on Darwin Kernel Version 12.2.0).
2. Python dies with a SIGSEGV error

Cause: 
Apparently, Python behaves differently on Darwin than it does either on Linux or on Windows, and it messes the return pointer from PL_strdup.
This fixes it for me. Setting the return value to *void makes Python not touch the pointer at all, apparently.
