bug#11167: trunk; term.el inserts newline when erasing-to-eol [PATCH]

[Geoff Jacobsen]

When term.el receives a "^[[K" erase-end-of-line the term-erase-in-line function inserts a new line.

When variable term-scroll-show-maximum-output is set to t this can result in a blank line at the bottom of the buffer.

This breaks programs such as less which won't display the top line.

I can't see the purpose for the new-line. The following patch removes it.
