gdb: do not handle a NULL linebuffer in pager_file::puts
This patch [1] has shown that different implementations of ui_file::puts
handle a NULL line differently. pager_file::puts handles a NULL
argument gracefully, as a no-op, while other implementations don't and
likely crash. This causes subtle bugs: things will be working until the
current ui_file is suddenly not a pager_file anymore. I think it would
be better to be consistent here, so change pager_file::puts to not
accept a NULL line.
A regular test run on Linux shows no regression.
