weili e2d84e98d5 locate: don't panic on a too-short --database file
`locate -d <file> <pattern>` panicked (slice index underflow, exit 101) when
the database file is exactly one byte: `check_db` consumes that byte with
`read_exact`, then `read_until(b'\0', ...)` hits EOF and appends nothing,
leaving `buf` empty. `&buf[..buf.len() - 1]` then underflows `buf.len() - 1`
to `usize::MAX` and slices out of bounds.

Strip the trailing nul with `strip_suffix(b"\0")` (falling back to the whole
buffer when `read_until` stopped at EOF without one) instead of slicing
`buf.len() - 1`. An empty buffer now yields `None` (unrecognized format), so
the too-short database is skipped like any other invalid one and locate exits
1 instead of crashing. Adds a regression test.
