Fix uninitialized value access when very first GDB command entered is <RET>
While running GDB under Valgrind, I noticed that if the very first
command entered is just <RET>, GDB accesses an uninitialized value:

It's this check here:
/* If we just got an empty line, and that is supposed to repeat the
previous command, return the value in the global buffer. */
if (repeat && p == linebuffer && *p != '\\')
{
The problem is that linebuffer's contents were never initialized at
this point.

* event-top.c (command_line_handler): Clear the first byte of
linebuffer, when it is first allocated.
