Fix warnings: hardcopy.c: mch_print_text_out(): Bad free: FP + RI.

Browse Source 
Problem    : Bad free @ 3058.
Diagnostic : False positive uncovering a real issue.
Rationale  : Signaled error occurs if p gets assigned `(char_u*)""` at
             line 3009 and then is freed at line 3058. But that cannot
             happen because of the last guard condition before `free`
             (`*p != NUL`). So, signaled error is a false positive.
             Now, examining this code more carefully reveals a real
             issue: not freeing an empty string may not be always
             correct, as an empty (but allocated) string could also be
             returned in `p = string_convert(&prt_conv, p, &len);` if
             passed '&len' points to 0). Which would in fact be a memory
             leak.
Resolution : Remove the exceptional case. Make p always point to
             allocated memory, and always free it, when `prt_do_conv` is
             on.
