     Don’t set print-escape-newlines in the minibuffer

     This appears to be an unnecessary and possibly-confusing
     revenant from ancient code (Bug#31251).  See thread containing:
     https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2018-04/msg00654.html
     * src/minibuf.c (read_minibuf): Do not set print-escape-newlines.
     * src/print.c (syms_of_print): Do not defsym print-escape-newlines
     or print-escape-control-characters, as these symbols are not used
     in C code.

that fixed the behavior for Emacs 27.  Since it apparently worked
until Emacs 25 we have a regression in Emacs 26 though.

Thanks for spotting it, martin
