The documentation for quick.Value says that it "returns an arbitrary
value of the given type." In spite of this, nil values for pointers were
never generated, which seems more like an oversight than an intentional
choice.
The lack of nil values meant that testing recursive type like
type Node struct {
Next *Node
}
with testing/quick would lead to a stack overflow since the data
structure would never terminate.
This change may break tests that don't check for nil with pointers
returned from quick.Value. Two such instances were found in the standard
library, one of which was in the testing/quick package itself.
Fixes#8818.

As noted in bug #10980, an empty PEM block is encoded as
-----BEGIN foo-----
-----END foo-----
However, Decode failed to process this.
RFC 1421 doesn't answer what the encoding of the empty block should be
because PEM messages always contain at least one header. However, PEM
these days is just the encoding format – nobody uses the rest of PEM any
longer.
Having the empty block not contain a newline seems most correct because
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1421#section-9 clearly says that the
optional “pemtext” carries the leading new-line with it. So if omitted,
the new-line should be omitted too.
None the less, this changes makes encoding/pem permissive, accepting any
number of blank lines in an empty PEM block.
Fixes#10980
