bug#22686: An empty string marked for translation

On line 955 of src/stty.c there is an empty string marked for
translation.

          fputs (_("\
    "), stdout);

This might actually be harmful.  Po files use the translation of the
empty string as a header.  So depending on the gettext implementation,
it might be replaced by a header which I'm sure isn't intended.
(Maybe GNU gettext guards against this, I haven't investigated.  But
even if so, it is still pretty pointless to mark it for translation.)
