Fix latent crash in do_text_output_multiline().
do_text_output_multiline() would fail (typically with a null pointer
dereference crash) if its input string did not end with a newline. Such
cases do not arise in our current sources; but it certainly could happen
in future, or in extension code's usage of the function, so we should fix
it. To fix, replace "eol += len" with "eol = text + len".
While at it, make two cosmetic improvements: mark the input string const,
and rename the argument from "text" to "txt" to dodge pgindent strangeness
(since "text" is a typedef name).
Even though this problem is only latent at present, it seems like a good
idea to back-patch the fix, since it's a very simple/safe patch and it's
not out of the realm of possibility that we might in future back-patch
something that expects sane behavior from do_text_output_multiline().
Per report from Hao Lee.
