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. Report: <CAGoxFiFPAGyPAJLcFxTB5cGhTW2yOVBDYeqDugYwV4dEd1L_Ag@mail.gmail.com>
