In 9f10c00 main: report: remove custom DList, updates the `Report::Text` function was switched to accept `std::string&` instead of `const char*`. In the conversion the possibility of the char ptr to be a nullptr was forgotten. A nullptr for text is interpreted as `draw_a_line`. As `std::string` has no distinction between nullptr and an empty string introduce the variable `bool draw_a_line` and reintroduce the `const char*` overloads for `Report::Text` and `ReportEntry()`. Add tests to check ReportEntry constructors with `const char *` and `std::string`. Especially the new behavior when `nullptr` is passed as text, which should be the only instance `draw_a_line` should be set to true. fixes: #115
