    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.
