Turns out apr_getpass() already does this (my comments in the issue
were wrong). It looks like we introduced the spurious newline in very
old commits in subversion/clients/cmdline/trace-commit.c (revisions
1.7 and 1.8).

That's from CVS days, and trace-commit.c is gone now, but maybe that
newline lives on somewhere. Diagnosing now...
