Subject: Fix arbitrary command execution in ed-style patches
 (CVE-2018-1000156)

* src/pch.c (do_ed_script): Write ed script to a temporary file instead
of piping it to ed: this will cause ed to abort on invalid commands
instead of rejecting them and carrying on.
* tests/ed-style: New test case.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test case.


Without test to avoid automake due to @system package.
