Turns out some of the strings in procfs can be empty (file with just a
newline) and in such case scanf("%s", ...) fails to read the file while
what we needed instead is a function that would produce an empty string.
This patchset addds such function and makes use of it in the
newuname01 test.

Unlike the scanf("%s") this function can properly handle empty files and
in case of an empty file produces an empty string.

The domainname can be empty hence we cannot use scanf() string for
format for reading the file. Use the newly added SAFE_FILE_READ_STR()
to read the strings from procfs instead.

We need a return; here in an unlikely case that someone would call this
from a test cleanup() callback.
