Subject: [PATCH] gkeyfile: Fix a one-byte heap under-read with
g_key_file_get_locale_string_list()
If this method was called on a key file key which has an empty value,
`len == 0` and this leads to a one-byte under-read off the start of the
key file buffer.
Spotted by linhlhq as #YWH-PGM9867-200. The suggested fix is theirs, and
the unit test is adapted from their report. I added the fuzzing test.
Fixes: #3930
