The emit_hunk_header() function is responsible for assembling a hunk header and calling emit_line() to send the hunk header to the output file. Its only caller fn_out_consume() needs to prepare for a case where the function emits an incomplete line and add the terminating LF. Instead make sure emit_hunk_header() to always send a completed line to emit_line().
