bpo-40847: Consider a line with only a LINECONT a blank line (GH-20769)

A line with only a line continuation character should be considered
a blank line at tokenizer level so that only a single NEWLINE token
gets emitted. The old parser was working around the issue, but the
new parser threw a `SyntaxError` for valid input. For example,
an empty line following a line continuation character was interpreted
as a `SyntaxError`.
