for_each_reflog_ent_reverse: fix newlines on block boundaries

When we read a reflog file in reverse, we read whole chunks
of BUFSIZ bytes, then loop over the buffer, parsing any
lines we find. We find the beginning of each line by looking
for the newline from the previous line. If we don't find
one, we know that we are either at the beginning of
the file, or that we have to read another block.

In the latter case, we stuff away what we have into a
strbuf, read another block, and continue our parse. But we
missed one case here. If we did find a newline, and it is at
the beginning of the block, we must also stuff that newline
into the strbuf, as it belongs to the block we are about to
read.

The minimal fix here would be to add this special case to
the conditional that checks whether we found a newline.
But we can make the flow a little clearer by rearranging a
bit: we first handle lines that we are going to show, and
then at the end of each loop, stuff away any leftovers if
necessary. That lets us fold this special-case in with the
more common "we ended in the middle of a line" case.
