bug#27361: 24.4; eshell/echo silently ignores -n argument

echo -n is famously non-portable.
Perhaps eshell is trying to make a point. ;)
echo --help does document the -n behaviour, and it's been like that
since always.
With eshell-plain-echo-behavior set, -n is simply ignored.
I would have thought you must have eshell-plain-echo-behavior set
if you want anything like "standard" echo behaviour.
