[PATCH] hostapd_cli: Add newline to command output

This patch ensures that output printed by hostapd_cli commands is
terminated with a newline character. The lack of newline caused
DPP-related command outputs — when run via hostapd_cli or wpa_cli —
to appear concatenated or be misinterpreted in scripting or terminal
environments.

For example, running a DPP command like dpp_bootstrap_get_uri would
print the output without a trailing newline, making it harder to
parse or read.
