Make sure fsck_commit_buffer() does not run out of the buffer

So far, we assumed that the buffer is NUL terminated, but this is not a safe assumption, now that we opened the fsck_object() API to pass a buffer directly. So let's make sure that there is at least an empty line in the buffer. That way, our checks would fail if the empty line was encountered prematurely, and consequently we can get away with the current string comparisons even with non-NUL-terminated buffers are passed to fsck_object().
