Actually, only 7-bit ASCII is useful, but other characters are already
tested in other parts of the scanner.  NULs were simply being ignored,
since fgets uses that as a delimiter.  On Saturday, I was investigating
using fread to replace fgets, but found that led into additional problems.

I happened to notice that while verifying that the recent fuzzer report
was the memory leak that I already knew about (from April 2022).

Fixing the leak isn't trivial, but I've chipped away at it a few times.
That, and some breakage noticed with Fedora's version of gprbuild are the
current release-blockers.

The final-newline was from a different test case, which I noticed while
verifying terminfo updates.
