* lisp/simple.el (delete-trailing-whitespace): Set newline’s character
syntax to non-whitespace so that ‘\s-’ regular expression does not match
it.
This simplifies the loop slightly since a simple ‘\s-+$’ can be used and
as a consequence ‘line-beginning-position’ function does not need to be
called any longer.
Furthermore, when newline has whitespace syntax, ‘\s-$’ regular
expression ends up matching empty lins since ‘\s-’ matches newline
characetr of proceeding line. This leads to needless loop iterations.
Since previous change to ‘delete-trailing-whitespace’ already introduced
‘with-syntax-table’, take advantage of it and also overwrite newline’s
character syntax.
