null-terminate string in linespec_location_completer
If I build gdb with -fsanitize=address and run tests, I get error,
malformed linespec error: unexpected colon^M

The code in question is here
file_to_match = (char *) xmalloc (colon - text + 1);
strncpy (file_to_match, text, colon - text + 1);
it is likely that file_to_match is not null-terminated. The patch is
to strncpy 'colon - text' bytes and explicitly set '\0'.

* completer.c (linespec_location_completer): Make file_to_match
null-terminated.
