Let TeX handle newlines itself.

Note that it may be worth passing the baselineskip
(`Text.get_linespacing()`) as argument to texmanager, but that'll wait
for a bigger refactor... for now, let's stick to the old default of
1.25.

test_metrics_cache changes as the cache hit pattern changed for usetex
strings.
