Trim final newline from `:pipe` output about helix HOT 4 OPEN

#8366 already implements a command to trim, so you could just pipe and execute that if/when it is merged

from helix.

That’s a possible solution, but it means that the vast majority of the time you pipe to another command you’ll have to :trim too. IMO this is a behaviour that should be implemented by the pipe command for ease of use.

I’d also be open to it only trimming a single trailing newline too. But as it is, stuff like piping to uniq or sort or case conversion utils or a formatted will all insert a new line into your document because these tools do the “correct” thing for interactive shell usage. Both Vim and Kakoune do remove the final newline, for good reason :)
