trailer: display a trailer without its trailing newline

chriscool · gitster · commit d52adf1f3281 · 2014-11-10T09:43:59.000-08:00
Trailers passed to the parse_trailer() function often have
a trailing newline. When erroring out, we should display
the invalid trailer properly, that means without any
trailing newline.
