Subject: [PATCH] [libc++] Remove trailing newline from
 _LIBCPP_ASSERTION_HANDLER calls

This newline was originally added in https://reviews.llvm.org/D142184
but I think updating `__libcpp_verbose_abort` to add newline instead
is more consistent, and works for other callers of
`_LIBCPP_VERBOSE_ABORT`.

The `_LIBCPP_ASSERTION_HANDLER` calls through to either
`_LIBCPP_VERBOSE_ABORT` macro or the `__builtin_verbose_trap`
>From what I can tell neither of these function expect a trailing
newline (At least non of the usage of `_LIBCPP_VERBOSE_ABORT` or
`__builtin_verbose_trap` that I can find include a trailing newline
except _LIBCPP_ASSERTION_HANDLER).

I noticed this discrepancy when working on
