cmdline: CTRL-R: <Space> instead of CR between lines.

^M isn't any more "correct" than space: the "technically correct"
interpretation is to execute the first line that is seen (and this is
what happens on middle-click paste in Vim). ^M is only intended to
defuse the newline, so that the user can review the command. We can do
that with a space instead, and then the command can be executed without
having to fix it up first.
