Nicolas Looss found while fuzzing secilc with AFL that the statement "(class C (()))" will cause a segfault. CIL expects a list of permissions in the class declaration and "(())" is a valid list. Each item of the list is expected to be an identifier and as the list is processed each item is checked to see if it is a list. An error is given if it is a list, otherwise the item is assumed to be an identifier. Unfortunately, the check only works if the list is not empty. In this case, the item passes the check and is assumed to be an identifier and a NULL is passed as the string for name verification. If name verification assumes that a non-NULL value will be passed in, a segfault will occur. Add a check for an empty list when processing a permission list and improve the error handling for permissions when building the AST.
