tool_operate: return error on strdup() failure

In src/tool_operate.c inside the Windows safe-search branch (#ifdef
CURL_CA_SEARCH_SAFE), the code assigns config->cacert = strdup(cacert);
at line 2076 without checking whether strdup returned NULL.

This would allow the code to continue with the wrong value set, causing
possible confusion.

Closes #19145
