expand: Fix trailing newlines processing in backquote expanding
According to POSIX.1-2008 we should remove newlines only at the end of
the substitution. Newlines-only substitions causes dash to remove
newlines before beggining of the substitution. The following code:
cat <<END
1
$(echo "")
2
END
prints "1<newline>2" instead of expected "1<newline><newline>2".
This patch fixes trailing newlines processing in backquote expanding.
