xargs: terminate if line replacement cannot be constructed

Description

xargs: terminate if line replacement cannot be constructed

If the line with replacement cannot be constructed xargs should
terminate as documented in the man page

We encounter this error, but gnu/xargs doesn't because they have a much
larger limit for created outputs (~10000 lines).

xargs: improve foundeof check for -E

4aeb63826e0f got it almost correct (we can't use strcmp() here as
current argument isn't guaranteed to be NUL-terminated), but we also
need to check that current argument length is equal to that of eofstr.
