Subject: lib: parser: optimize match_NUMBER apis to use local array
Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2023 11:23:52 +0800

Memory will be allocated to store substring_t in match_strdup(), which
means the caller of match_strdup() may need to be scheduled out to wait
for reclaiming memory.

Using local array to store substring_t to remove the restriction.
