cut: do not accept the invalid range 0-
The command "echo 12345 | cut -b 0-" prints an empty line while it should fail with "fields and positions are numbered from 1". * src/cut.c (set_fields): Add a diagnostic for the invalid open range which starts with Zero, i.e., the range 0-. * tests/misc/cut.pl: Add tests to ensure the range 0- fails for fields (-f) and for positions (-b, -c). * NEWS: Mention the fix. Reported by Marcel Böhme in <http://bugs.gnu.org/12903>.
