Recomplexify ‘delete-trailing-whitespace’ by treating \n as whitespace again

Mostly reverts "Simplify ‘delete-trailing-whitespace’ by not treating
\n as whitespace" from 2016-07-04.  Setting \n to non-whitespace
causes the regex engine to backtrack a lot when searching for
"\\s-+$" (Bug#26079).

* lisp/simple.el (delete-trailing-whitespace): Don't change newline
syntax, search for "\\s-$" and then skip backward over trailing
whitespace.
