Expand on API guarantee for fgetln
OpenBSD has begun using the API guarantee that *len is not 0 if the fgetln(3) return value is not NULL; document this explicitly in the manpage and add a comment to the function implementation that this doesn’t need to be checked because getdelim/getline have similar guarantees.
