Be stricter while resolving escapes in the delimiter-string and
error out when it has length 0 or contains an invalid escape.
Thanks to Hiltjo Posthuma's sharp eagle eyes this bug was spotted.
Having multibyte delimiters is not enough. For full flexibility,
the possiblity of cutting input lines with arbitrary length delimiters
is the real deal.
Given this functionality, it only sounds reasonable to also add support
to resolve escapes.
Thanks to Truls Becken for making the suggestion and designing such a
flexible cut(1)-implementation!
Now you can specify a multibyte-delimiter to cut, which should
definitely be possible for the end-user (Fuck POSIX).
Looking at GNU/coreutils' cut(1)[0], which basically ignores the difference
between characters and bytes, the -n-option and which is bloated as hell,
one has to wonder why they are still default. This is insane!
Things like this personally keep me motivated to make sbase better
every day.

NSFW! You have been warned.
There's no point free-ing memory when the kernel can do it for us.
Just reuse the already allocated memory to hold lines.
Thanks Truls Becken for pointing this out.
It actually makes the binaries smaller, the code easier to read
(gems like "val == true", "val == false" are gone) and actually
predictable in the sense of that we actually know what we're
working with (one bitwise operator was quite adventurous and
should now be fixed).
This is also more consistent with the other suckless projects
around which don't use boolean types.
