 pextlib1.0: init err buffer, use err code if empty

 curl < 7.60.0 does not initialize the error buffer, and cases have been
 reported where a curl download failed without the error buffer being
 set. This was the case on older systems that did not yet have curl
 7.60.0, and caused random garbage to be printed.

 0-initialize the buffer and check whether the buffer has a useful
 message before returning it. Generate a substitute message using
 curl_easy_strerror() from the returned error code if the error buffer is
 not set.
