Let latex writer line trimming from depart_entry() work as before #8781

This is cosmetic as the blank line starting varwidth environment used
for merged table cells in latex output changed nothing to PDF.

Nevertheless I extended a unit test to have a multi-paragraph merged
cell using varwidth. What is important is that \sphinxAtStartPar line
itself is never followed by blank line.
