psql: Fix invalid memory access

Due to an apparent thinko, when printing a table in expanded mode
(\x), space would be allocated for 1 slot plus 1 byte per line,
instead of 1 slot per line plus 1 slot for the NULL terminator.  When
the line count is small, reading or writing the terminator would
therefore access memory beyond what was allocated.

Hm, should not this and your other recent commits get back-patched?
