`tramp-send-string' performs two actions wrt end of line:

- It replaces all occurences of "\n" with `tramp-rsh-end-of-line'. This
  is a noop on Unices, because `tramp-rsh-end-of-line' is "\n" there.

- It checks, whether the string finishes with `tramp-rsh-end-of-line'.
  If not, it appends it.

The string sent by `tramp-send-string' is always traced in the debug
buffer, when you set `tramp-verbose' to 10. The *trailing* newline of
that string is not visible there, for formatting reasons.

I've checked this in Tramp 2.2, but I don't remember it has changed
since 2.1.
