Our tools will strip trailing NULs, so this is not causing harm, except for
the corner case when the .sbat section is exactly of the maximum size and now
it wouldn't fit because we're one byte short.
But it also is not needed. Sections have an encoded size of the data and the
reader must use that and must be prepared to handle a text section that does
not end in NUL. Appending of the NUL was added in
c3f7501c4d, without any discussion of this
change. Since we didn't insert the NUL before, the tools must have been
prepared to work without it. I think it's better to keep the code clean and
not do this unnecessary step.
