fix: show full option descriptions in --help output

[lovasoa]

Option descriptions in --help output were truncated to the first line. For example, npm version --help showed:

$ npm version --help
  --allow-same-version
    Prevents throwing an error when `npm version` is used to set the new

instead of the complete text:

$ npm version --help
  --allow-same-version
    Prevents throwing an error when `npm version` is used to set the new
    version to the same value as the current version.

This affected all commands, not just version.

Cause: getUsage() in lib/base-cmd.js used .split(n)[0] on each description, discarding everything after the first newline. Since descriptions are multi-line template literals, this cut most of them off mid-sentence.

Fix: Join all lines of the description into a single string instead of taking only the first line.

Okay, I think this was actually an intentional design decision. Some of those descriptions are very long and --help is meant to give you a quick summary - i don't think we want full descriptions in there anyway. npm help version would give you the full text if that is what you wanted, i don't think showing everything here is the answer.

Sentences are cut in the middle without any explanation. Maybe the output should at least let the use know why and how to get the full description ?

@lovasoa in speaking to the engineer that made the change, I found out it was not intentional 😆 . My apologies. If you want to get this up to date I can review/merge. If not I'll get to the change when I can
