segfault with ${var[@]@A}

If `var' is declared but not set, performing an @A or @a
transformation on double-quoted `var[@]' or `var[*]' will trigger a
segfault in dequote_string.

This is present in 4.4 and devel.

    bash -c 'declare var; echo "${var[@]@A}"'
    Segmentation fault: 11

This seems like the easy fix:

diff --git a/subst.c b/subst.c
index dbb38fae..2ae4a1ec 100644
--- a/subst.c
+++ b/subst.c
