ungetc: Fix uninitialized read when putting into unused streams [BZ #27821]
When ungetc is called on an unused stream, the backup buffer is allocated without the main get area being present. This results in every subsequent ungetc (as the stream remains in the backup area) checking uninitialized memory in the backup buffer when trying to put a character back into the stream. Avoid comparing the input character with buffer contents when in backup to avoid this uninitialized read. The uninitialized read is harmless in this context since the location is promptly overwritten with the input character, thus fulfilling ungetc functionality. Also adjust wording in the manual to drop the paragraph that says glibc cannot do multiple ungetc back to back since with this change, ungetc can actually do this.
