IPython line magic can be split across lines

See original GitHub issue

IPython line magic can be split across lines (https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/2164/).

So the following should be handled correctly.

%load_ext watermark
%watermark -u -n -t -z \
    -p jupytext -v

and should print something like:

last updated: Thu Mar 28 2019 15:11:29 GMT Standard Time

CPython 3.7.3
IPython 7.4.0

jupytext 1.0.5

However, the percent representation is

# %load_ext watermark
# %watermark -u -n -t -z \
-p jupytext -v

which is invalid. (I haven’t actually checked, TBH)
