Fix out-of-bounds read when parsing --list argument

Browse Source 
When running bemenu like:
    env BEMENU_OPTS="--list 3" bemenu

Valgrind will report an out-of-bounds read:
    Invalid read of size 1

The problem is that the parsing code for `--list` will blindly compare
a character past the number of lines to parse for e.g. `--list '3 up'`
but the end of the string may come right after the number of lines.

In my system Valgrind does not find the error when running bemenu like
`bemenu --list 3` even though the logic is equally questionable.

Fix it by checking that there is more after the number of lines.
