bpo-40985: Show correct SyntaxError text when last line has a LINECONT (pythonGH-20888)

When a file ends with a line that contains a line continuation character
the text of the emitted SyntaxError is empty, contrary to the old
parser, where the error text contained the text of the last line.

+Fix a bug that caused the :exc:`SyntaxError` text to be empty when a file ends with a line ending in a line continuation character (i.e. backslash). The error text should contain the text of the last line.
