[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup] server/worker_task: improve newline handling in upid_read_status

[Dominik Csapak <d.csapak@proxmox.com>]

improves upid_read_status with:
* ignore multiple newlines at the end
* remove all code that could panic (array index access)
  the one place where we access with '[pos+1..]' is ok since
  we explicitely test the len of the vector, this is done to
  let rust optimize away the range checks, so it cannot panic
