Previously, the preoutput filter `sql-remove-continuation-prompt'
inserted a leading newline in the interactive SQL buffer if it decided
that is has to remove continuation prompts and that it had found all
it was looking for.
1) This filter function was a doubtful place to do that (arguably, its
name does not suggest any action like this).
2) The behavior worked inconsistently, eg, when sending a single-line
"SELECT" statement, because it only ran when the filter function
needed to remove any prompts (for example, not when sending a
region without newlines).
This can lead to misaligned table headers, which explains why
emacswiki and stackoverflow both present several fixes to this
behavior.
