[PATCH] libio: Add terminating NUL when the first character is EOF in getdelim [BZ #28038]

POSIX requires that the buffer used by getdelim/getline add a
terminating NUL whenever an EOF is read.
* libio/iogetdelim.c (__getdelim): Add a NUL byte when the first
__underflow is called.
* libio/tst-getdelim.c (do_test): Add a test case for the bug.

If this patch is okay for glibc, then I will push it to Gnulib as well
since the function is mostly copied over there.
