python: Don't use '\n' in sed substitution

This change fixes automake bug#31222.

On macOS, 'sed' interprets '\n' in the substitution text as the letter 'n'
instead of as a newline.

* lib/am/python.am [?FIRST?] (am__pep3147_tweak): Use a space instead of '\n'.
* NEWS: Update.

+* Bugs fixed
+
+  - When cleaning the compiled python files, '\n' is not used anymore in the
+    substitution text of 'sed' transformations.  This is done to preserve
+    compatibility with the 'sed' implementation provided by macOS which
+    considers '\n' as the 'n' character instead of a newline.
