Expand on API guarantee for fgetln

OpenBSD has begun using the API guarantee that *len is not 0 if
the fgetln(3) return value is not NULL; document this explicitly
in the manpage and add a comment to the function implementation
that this doesn’t need to be checked because getdelim/getline have
similar guarantees.
