[pushed] Fix uninitialized value access when very first GDB command entered is <RET>

[Pedro Alves]

While running GDB under Valgrind, I noticed that if the very first
command entered is just <RET>, GDB accesses an uninitialized value:

 $ valgrind ./gdb -q -nx

 (gdb)

It's this check here:

  /* If we just got an empty line, and that is supposed to repeat the
     previous command, return the value in the global buffer.  */
  if (repeat && p == linebuffer && *p != '\\')
    {

The problem is that linebuffer's contents were never initialized at
this point.

	* event-top.c (command_line_handler): Clear the first byte of
	linebuffer, when it is first allocated.
