[Bug 3529] New: `add_host_to_hostfile` should take into consideration that the known_hosts file isn't terminated with a newline character.

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3529

            Bug ID: 3529
           Summary: `add_host_to_hostfile` should take into consideration
                    that the known_hosts file isn't terminated with a
                    newline character.
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 9.1p1
          Hardware: ix86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: git+openssh at limpsquid.nl

If the known_hosts file isn't terminated with a newline character the
`add_host_to_hostfile` appends the new host key to the last line which
might already contain a valid host key.

Check for newline at end of known_hosts and add it missing.  Close FILE

Please try this one instead.

I've tested it and for a file which already was terminated with a
new-line it still added an extra new-line.

I've changed the open mode to `a+` since that should be used for both
appending and reading the file.

I also had to change the initial fseek to `fseek(f, -1, SEEK_END)`. The
docs (https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/fopen.3.html) mention
the following:
> Open for reading and appending (writing at end of file).
> The file is created if it does not exist.  Output is
> always appended to the end of the file.  POSIX is silent
> on what the initial read position is when using this mode.
> For glibc, the initial file position for reading is at the
> beginning of the file, but for Android/BSD/MacOS, the
> initial file position for reading is at the end of the
> file.
The attachement was added in my previous comment.
