md5sum, sha1sum, etc: handle invalid input (i.e., don't segfault)

* src/md5sum.c (bsd_split_3): Return right away if s_len == 0.
* tests/misc/md5sum (bsd-segv): New test for the above.
* tests/misc/sha1sum (bsd-segv): Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
Reported by Cristian Cadar, Daniel Dunbar and Dawson Engler.

   ls no longer segfaults on files in /proc when linked with an older version
   of libselinux.  E.g., ls -l /proc/sys would dereference a NULL pointer.
 
+  md5sum would segfault for invalid BSD-style input, e.g.,
+  echo 'MD5 (' | md5sum -c -  Now, md5sum ignores that line.
+  sha1sum, sha224sum, sha384sum, and sha512sum are affected, too.
+  [bug introduced in coreutils-5.1.0]
+
   "mkdir -Z x dir" no longer segfaults when diagnosing invalid context "x"
   mkfifo and mknod would fail similarly.  Now they're fixed.
