We would use alloca to extend the format string with "\n". We do this
automatically in order to not forget appending the newline everywhere.
We can simplify the whole thing by using a macro to append the newline instead,
which means that we don't need to copy the string.
Because we concatenate the string argument with another literal string, we know
it must a literal string. Thus it's not a problem that it is "evaluated" two
times.
Quoting Hristo Venev:

MHD_RESPMEM_MUST_COPY would work, but we also use mhd_respond() for mhd_oom(),
and we don't want to allocate in an oom scenario in order to maximize the
possibility that an answer will be delivered. Using the macro magic makes this
nicer and we get rid of the code doing alloca.
