ed: fix current line number for file passed via the command-line

Browse Source 
POSIX.1-2008 mandates the following regarding the file command-line
argument:

	If the file argument is given, ed shall simulate an e command
	on the file named by the pathname […]

The specification for the e command mandates the following behaviour
regarding the current line number in POSIX.1-2008:

	The current line number shall be set to the address of the last
	line of the buffer.

However, without this commit, busybox ed will set the current line
number to 1 if a file is given on the command-line and this file is not
empty (lastNum != 0). This is incorrect and fixed in this commit by not
modifying the current line number in ed_main(). As such, the current
line number will be zero for empty files and otherwise be set to the
address of the last line of the buffer.
