Fix line_offset not being reset in _alpm_archive_fgets()
This is a rather serious data corruption issue that luckily manifested itself today in a noticable way. A package in testing had replaces entries read in as ["%RE pkgname", "%RE"] which was clearly wrong. This happens when we hit the end of an archive block, do not have a newline, and have to continue reading from the next block to complete the line. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
