patch cat.c & ATF tests

The attached patch amends bin/cat/cat.c so the output is the same aside
from blank lines being numbered or unnumbered, depending on whether cat
was invoked with -ne or -be.

At present, when cat is invoked with -be, there is an aditional
difference that the '$' on blank lines is placed on the far left of the
output.

The patch originates from r1.17 of bin/cat/cat.c from NetBSD.

Additionally, the ATF test is amended to test for the behaviour correctly (=
the
test previously only checked if text was aligned, without blank lines where=
 the
issue being  tested for was present). This change is present upstream but
provided here in case a vendor import is not feasible at this time.
