bootconfig: Terminate value search if it hits a newline

Terminate the value search for a key if it hits a newline and make
the value empty.

When we pass a bootconfig with an empty value terminated by the
newline, like below::

  foo =
  bar = value

Current bootconfig interprets it as a single entry::

  foo = "bar = value";

The Documentation/admin-guide/bootconfig.rst defines the value
itself is terminated by newline:

  The value has to be terminated by semi-colon (``;``) or newline (``\n``).

but it does not define when the value search is terminated.
This changes the behavior to be more line-oriented, so that it is
clearer in how it works.

- The value search of key-value pair will be terminated by a comment
  or newline.
- The value search of an array will continue beyond comments and
  newlines.

Thus, with this update, the above example is interpreted as::

  foo = "";
  bar = "value";

And the below example will cause a syntax error because "bar" is expected
as a key but it has ','.

  foo =
    bar, buz

According to this change, one wrong example config is updated.
