Subject: cut: don't print empty lines with '-s' option
A command like 'cut -f1 -s' would print empty lines even though
they don't contain a delimiter.
Add a test to avoid this.
Based on a submission to the upstream mailing list:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2024-July/090834.html
Adds 32 bytes in 32-bit build, saves 32 in 64-bit.
(GitHub issue #459)
