xfree86: fix potential buffer overflow

The patch below fixes a potential buffer overflow in xf86addComment().
This occurs if  curlen > 0 && eol_seen == 0 && iscomment == 0 , as
follows from the code:

char *xf86addComment(char *cur, char *add)

<...>

        len = strlen(add);
        endnewline = add[len - 1] == '\n';
        len +=  1 + iscomment + (!hasnewline) + (!endnewline) + eol_seen;

        if ((str = realloc(cur, len + curlen)) == NULL)
                return cur;

        cur = str;

        if (eol_seen || (curlen && !hasnewline))
                cur[curlen++] = '\n';
        if (!iscomment)
                cur[curlen++] = '#';
        strcpy(cur + curlen, add);
        if (!endnewline)
                strcat(cur, "\n");
