s3:param:py_param - fix crash when modifying passdb.Groupmap()

We try to strlcpy() into NULL on changing the nt_name or comment in a newly-created Groupmap object.

>>> from samba.samba3 import passdb
>>> grp = passdb.Groupmap()
>>> grp.nt_name="canary"
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  python3

Commit changes behavior so that we talloc_strdup() the value.
