.linefile 0.

hits the "case 1 << 3" abort in new_logical_line_flags with line_number
of -1.

Similar to commit b60f6a628897, this fixes the abort by extending the
meaning of .linefile in user code to restore the physical line for
".linefile 0 .".

	* input-scrub.c (new_logical_line_flags <case 1<<3>): Don't
	abort on negative line number, instead restore physical line
	for ".linefile 0".
