doc: remove .strip() for a docstring

This shouldn't be necessary, and by stripping it (and removing the trailing
newline) it causes issues with Mercurial's doc/gendoc.py's RST output, since
there's no newline separating this string and the thing that comes after it.

I believe that the `.strip()` has been in there since the beginning, but I have
not found a reason for its existence. It's possible that this was required in
older Mercurial versions, but is no longer required? Notably, the tests (which
include an invocation of `hg help evolution`) still pass with this change.

### Alternatives considered

- Making gendoc.py robust against this. This was rejected since there's no need
  for the .strip() as far as I can tell, and this is the only case I know of
  that would need such logic.
