Ensure Soundex difference() function handles empty input sanely.
fuzzystrmatch's difference() function assumes that _soundex()
always initializes its output buffer fully. This was not so for
the case of a string containing no alphabetic characters, resulting
in unstable output and Valgrind complaints.
Fix by using memset() to fill the whole buffer in the early-exit
case. Also make some cosmetic improvements (I didn't care for the
random switches between "instr[0]" and "*instr" notation).
Report and diagnosis by Alexander Lakhin (bug #17935).
Back-patch to all supported branches.
