backport: fix(:source, nvim_exec): handle Vimscript line continuations #14809

Problem:
Anonymous :source (no args) and nvim_exec() don't support Vimscript line continuations.

Solution:
Factor out the concat logic into concat_continued_line() and a
CONCAT_CONTINUED_LINES macro for simple concatenations where lines are
fetched individually.

Closes #14807
