Matthew Hughes c06e3d6f81 fix(termdebug): evaluate display with gdb pretty print #39453 ...

Calling `set print pretty on` in GDB will:

> Cause GDB to print structures in an indented format with one member
per line

However, `termdebug` just renders the newlines as raw `\n` characters.
This is a regression of[1]. Glancing through the history it looks to
have been caused by cd1b14f027 which
removed the output splitting when displaying the eval results, so this
changes adds that behaviour back.

As a quick reproduction/test, compile the following C program:

```c

struct Foo {
    char *name;
};

int main(void) {
    struct Foo f = {"hello"};
    printf("%s\n", f.name);

    return 0;
}
```

Then launch `nvim` and run:

    :Termdebug main
    :Gdb
    (gdb) set print pretty on
    (gdb) break main
    (gdb) run
    :Source

Place the cursor on the `f` variable and call `:Evaluate`. Before this change:
