client: use getline(3)

Not sure why the code didn't use this function previously, but
getline(3) is mandatory since POSIX.1-2008 and should thus be supported
by all maintstream operating systems. The proposed changes make the code
easier to read and should also make it more efficient memory-wise as it
does not necessarily cause the entire input to be copied into memory at
once.
