Title: Revert "Option to add newlines between inserted rows."

This reverts commit 222a4f36dd3312afefa0ba528f2823df95e41db3.

The option has a bug that fails on embedded parentheses.

Mea culpa. I did not adequately test my previous patch before submitting a pull request and now I've discovered it has a bug. I am choosing to revert the patch rather than fix the bug for the following reason:

I originally wanted to insert newlines between inserted rows because I read that the easier solution, using `mysqldump --extended-insert=false`, is much slower when restoring a database. I was concerned about minimizing downtime on an actively used system.

I have since learned there is an even better solution, which is to restore to a temporary database and then rename it using a utility such as [Rename-MySQL-DB](https://github.com/cclark/Rename-MySQL-DB). This is much faster than my original patch could ever hope to be.
