getline.3: Handle null bytes in input

As reported by Kent:
The example input/output handler in this EXAMPLE is subject
to introducing subtle bugs if the input stream contains
literal null bytes.
Subsequently, there should be some warning that this occurs,
or an alternative using fwrite(3) might be better.
Change the example program to use fwrite(3).
