child_process: remove extra newline in errors

checkExecSyncError() creates error objects for execSync() and
execFileSync(). If the child process created stderr output, then
it is attached to the end of the error message. However, stderr
can be an empty Buffer object, which always passes the truthy
check, leading to an extra newline in the error message. This
commit adds a length check, which will work with both strings and
Buffers.
