fix(single-line): join lines by split and trim instead of a backtracking regex

/\s*[\r\n]+\s*/g backtracks over every start position of a long
whitespace run, so 50,000 spaces took over a second. Split on line breaks,
trim each line, drop blank ones and join with a space: linear, and a
leading or trailing blank line no longer leaves a space behind. A prompt
without a line break is still returned unchanged. session-auto-ops now
imports toSingleLine from the utils barrel like respawn-controller.
