    gcontenttype: Fix a potential NULL pointer dereference
    
    If the initial part of the header (‘MIME-TreeMagic’) is valid, but the
    following line does not start with ‘[’ (i.e. is not a valid section
    line), insert_matchlet() will be called with a NULL match pointer, and
    will crash with a NULL pointer dereference.
    
    Fix this by bailing out if a valid section line isn’t encountered before
    the first insert_matchlet() call (i.e. between the header line and the
    first data line).
    
    Note that this has not been tested against a real treemagic file; the
    fix is purely theoretical.
    
    Found by scan-build.
