[Automake-NG] [PATCH 5/6] [ng] $(am__newline): will not be stripped unexpectedly

[Stefano Lattarini]

Not even if placed at the end of another macro's expansion.

* lib/am/header-vars.am (am__newline): Improve definition, and
update comments.
* t/internals.sh: Update: some previously xfailing checks are
now passing.
