agent: Do not place a trailing NUL byte on S-expressions

Browse Source 
* agent/pkdecrypt.c (agent_pkdecrypt): Avoid appending a trailing NUL
byte at the end of the generated S-expression.

--

In many cases, a canonical S-expression may have an embedded NUL
anyway (especially if it contains raw cryptographic key material or
other high-entropy bytestrings), so trying to treat a canonical
S-expression as a C string is likely to be dangerous -- better to not
leave any such expectations.

With the previous commit addressing the otherwise brittle consumers of
pkdecrypt, this should now be safe to do.
