    Log Message:
    Fix unaligned memory accesses as reported by ASan

    e.g. runtime error: store to misaligned address 0x7ffec33195e3 for type
    'short int', which requires 2 byte alignment

    These aren't a problem for x86, but could be a problem for some other CPU architectures that don't support unaligned access. I didn't use memcpy() to resolve this (though that would've worked) to make this change endian agnostic.

    arstr() shouldn't blow up if passed a NULL string

    Just some defensive programming - no known issue addressed by this change.

    Add the WIP keyword parsing back to arstr()

    ... removed in commit 8187ea673b86f52df45facbef63e13824b0b15ed

    Some (very) old Baja modules included checks for WIP support using ARS and without this keyword support, they would compiled with the interpretation of "WIP" as the "IP" ARS keyword and with no argument return true when evaluated basically falsely telling the script that the user's using a WIP terminal. Nobody is using a WIP terminal.
