Event format ending with newlines confuse the trace reports.
Forbid them.

Add a check to refuse new format added with trailing newline:

  $ make
  [...]
    GEN     hw/misc/trace.h
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "scripts/tracetool.py", line 152, in <module>
      main(sys.argv)
    File "scripts/tracetool.py", line 143, in main
      events.extend(tracetool.read_events(fh, arg))
    File "scripts/tracetool/__init__.py", line 367, in read_events
      event = Event.build(line)
    File "scripts/tracetool/__init__.py", line 281, in build
      raise ValueError("Event format can not end with a newline character")
  ValueError: Error at hw/misc/trace-events:121: Event format can not end with a newline character

It's barely worth mentioning, but you can use r"\n" for cases like this,
if it makes it easier to read.

TIL Python r"" :)

This would be r"\n\"", right? We need to match the trailing '"'.
Same length, not sure which string is easier to review =)

In this case, you can use r'\n"' to get the job done.

(My r-b stands, anyway.)
