unnecessary newline with --print-md

[Hauke Laging]

Hello,

I just noticed something which one might consider a bug.

gpg --print-md prints the file path and then the requested digest. If the file 
path is "too long" then a newline is inserted after it. That is nice if you 
just want to read the output.

The strange effect is that this happens if the output is piped, too. Even with 
--batch and --no-tty. In my experience the usual behaviour of console programs 
is that they do without the fancy terminal related stuff if they detect that 
their output is not connected to a terminal.

I know that --with-colons can be used with --print-md, too, and that this 
problem can be solved with redirecting the file to stdin but I thought this 
behaviour might be unintended.
