The MGCP message isn't always NUL-terminated when arriving at
mgcp_handle_message(). This may lead to undefined results.

This patch ensures that the message text is NUL-terminated by
setting *msg->tail to '\0' in mgcp_handle_message().

Addresses:
<000b> mgcp_protocol.c:642 Unhandled option: 'r'/114 on 0x3
<000b> mgcp_protocol.c:593 Unhandled SDP option: '='/61 on 0x3
<000b> mgcp_protocol.c:871 Unhandled option: '.'/46 on 0x2
