table: append newline when printing tables

With commit cb139fa8b3a1 ("table: New function table_format() for
formatting a table as a string.") a new mechanism for formatting
tables was introduced, and the table_print method was refactored to
use this.

During that refactor, calls to 'puts' were replaced with
'ds_put_cstr', and table print was changed to use 'fputs(...,
stdout)'.  Unfortunately, fputs() does not append a newline to the
string provided, and changes the output strings of, for example,
ovsdb-client dump to print all on one line.  This means
post-processing scripts that are chained after ovsdb-client would
either block indefinitely (if they don't detect EOF), or process the
entire bundle at once (rather than seeing each table on a separate
line).

Fixes: cb139fa8b3a1 ("table: New function table_format() for formatting a table as a string.")
