Changelog-Fixed: In `struct wireaddr`, the `addr` buffer is defined with a length of DNS_ADDRLEN (255). When parsing a valid DNS name that is exactly 255 bytes long, the subsequent attempt to append a `NULL` terminator overruns the buffer and triggers an out-of-bounds error under UBSan. Fix this by removing the line that appends `NULL`. This change is safe because the preceding call to: `memset(&addr->addr, 0, sizeof(addr->addr))` already zeroes the entire buffer.

Should add a comment describing the test, and also the bug that was fixed.

Can we improve the test to check the expected decoded values, as with the above tests?

Right, the readability could also use some improvements.
Add a test in `common/test/run-wireaddr.c` that reproduces the out-of-bounds error when the fix is not applied.
