[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Bounds check strings to print correctly in %trace mode. (#160)

[Peter Jones]

In %trace mode, evaluating a macro which is undefined causes an invalid
read of 1 byte when searching for the end of the string:

This can easily be avoided by checking the first byte as well as the
second for our sentinal value (NUL).
