Under certain conditions, the output of "multipath -ll" or
"multipathd show topology", or the multipathd logs, may
contain garbage characters. Fix that by making sure that
the strings are always properly zero-terminated.

Note 1: The way this is coded, the previously written
character is overwritten by the newline. That behavior is
unchanged by this patch. I didn't want to fuzz with the
carefully crafted print.c code more than necessary at
this point.

Note 2: The condition (c <= line + len - 1) is equivalent to
(TAIL >= 0). It should always hold the way ENDLINE is called
after PRINT and PAD in print.c, and is only added as an
additional safeguard, e.g. against future code changes.
