File coreutils-shuf-repeat-avoid-crash-when-input-empty.patch of Package coreutils.669

Port upstream fix for shuf, to be removed with v8.23:

shuf --repeat no longer dumps core if the input is empty.
  [bug introduced with the --repeat feature in coreutils-8.22]

This patch squashes these 2 upstream commits:

http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=9f60f37a28
  http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=5475e6083f

While the former implements the actual fix for the problem,
the latter only changes the new error diagnostic.  The change in the
NEWS entry in the latter patch is not visible in the following patch
because that hunk is omitted; however, that corrected NEWS entry is
above.
