parser: Fix handling of empty aliases
Dash was incorrectly handling empty aliases. When attempting to use an
empty alias with nothing else, I'm (incorrectly) prompted for more
input:

```
$ alias empty=''
$ empty
>
```

Other shells (e.g., bash, yash) correctly handle the lone, empty alias as an
empty command:

```
$ alias empty=''
$ empty
$
```

The problem here is that we incorrectly enter the loop eating TNLs
in readtoken().  This patch fixes it by setting checkkwd correctly.
