virsh: Treat \n like ; in batch mode

Browse Source 
I wanted to do a demonstration with virsh batch mode, which
takes multiple commands all packed into a single argument:

$ virsh -c test:///default 'echo a; echo b;'
a
b

but that produced a really long line, so I tried to make it
more legible:

$ virsh -c test:///default '
   echo a;
   echo b;
'
error: unknown command: '
'

Let's be more like the shell, and treat unquoted newline as a
command separator just as we do for semicolon.  In fact, with
that, I can even now mix styles:

$ virsh -c test:///default '
   echo a; echo b
   echo c
'
a
b
c
