remote: deal with partial lines, fixes #2637

due to block buffering (in borg, pipes, sshd, ssh) partial lines might
be received. for plain text, this causes cosmetic issues, for json it
causes tracebacks due to parse errors.

the code now makes sure handle_remote_line() only gets called with a
complete line (which is terminated by any universal newline char, a
pure \r seems to be needed for remote progress displays).

it also fixes a yet undiscovered partial utf-8-sequence decoding issue
that might occur for the same reason.
