Subject: [PATCH] output: Avoid tickling UBSAN with memcpy(dest, NULL, 0)

Even though all libc handle it sanely (because size 0 says there is
nothing to copy), NULL is not a valid source pointer per a strict
reading of C, so UBSAN flags it:

+output.c:511:9: runtime error: null pointer passed as argument 2, which is declared to never be null

* src/output.c (make_room_for): Skip no-op memcpy.
Fixes: https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?110809
