os/shell: do_os_system(): Always show last chunk.
This ameliorates use-cases like: :!cat foo.txt :make where the user is interested in the last few lines of output. Try these shell-based ex-commands before/after this commit: :grep -r '' * :make :!yes :!grep -r '' * :!git grep '' :!cat foo :!echo foo :!while true; do date; done :!for i in `seq 1 20000`; do echo XXXXXXXXXX $i; done In all cases the last few lines of the command should always be shown, regardless of where throttling was triggered.
