fsck: use strbuf_getline() to read skiplist file

The buffer is unlikely to contain a NUL character, so printing its
contents using %s in a die() format is unsafe (detected with ASan).

Use an idiomatic strbuf_getline() loop instead, which ensures the buffer
is always NUL-terminated, supports CRLF files as well, accepts files
without a newline after the last line, supports any hash length
automatically, and is shorter.

This fixes a bug where emitting an error about an invalid line on say
line 1 would continue printing subsequent lines, and usually continue
into uninitialized memory.

The performance impact of this, on a CentOS 7 box with RedHat GCC
4.8.5-28:
