knownhosts: fix hashed hostname component count in error message

Correct the component splitting in the nextWord function to omit the
initial empty element when decoding the pipe-separated hostname hash.

Previously, the error message incorrectly counted this empty element,
leading to misleading errors like:

  knownhosts: got 3 components, want 3

This change makes the component split start from index 1.

The existing tests cover the changed code.
