Fix newline handling in file, softlink, and ImportLink template functions

Use state-based routing instead of sentinel strings, so whitespace-trimming
syntax (e.g. `{{- file "name" -}}`) correctly creates all named files and
symlinks.

Fixes: #2118

Write the content from the template to the specified file name. May be specified

When no ``file`` call is present, all template output is written to the
**default output path**: the template filename with the ``.ww`` suffix stripped
(e.g., ``/etc/hosts.ww````/etc/hosts``).
When one or more ``file`` calls are present, each call redirects subsequent
template output to that named file. Any content rendered before the first
``file`` call is not written to disk. A ``softlink`` or ``ImportLink`` placed
before any ``file`` call still applies to the default output path and is
written to disk even when named files are also present.
