sfeed_curses: fix (very hard to trigger) memleak when getline() returns EOF for lazyloaded items
Fix the code pattern of freeing the line when getline returns -1 but no error
flag is set on the stream (such as EOF).
Note that on errors (even ENOMEM: out-of-memory) an error flag is set on the
stream and the process would exit and clean up all it's resources.
This would be very hard to trigger. The following conditions would have to be
true:
* Lazyloading of items is enabled: SFEED_LAZYLOAD=1 is set.
* Items of the feed are read and their offsets stored.
* The line is read/lazy-loaded again by it's offset but returns EOF (not a read
error) this time.
This could maybe happen if the feed file was changed and made smaller while
sfeed_curses is running and the remembered offset is now beyond the file.
Note that the sfeed_curses(1) man page describes a workaround for a similar
condition by sending SIGHUP if the sfeed(5) data was changed to reload the feed
file.

"It is the responsibility of the caller to free(3) *lineptr when it is no
longer needed. Even when it fails, getdelim() may update *lineptr."
