Please describe the problem or feature

Too long lines (E501) fail to be reported when ending open with a triple-quoted string.

If this is a bug report, please explain with examples (and example code) what you expected to happen and what actually happened.

foo.py:

$ cat foo.py 
len("this line if 86 chars long and is not reported.....", "foo bar baz spam egg", """
        some other string""")

len("this line is 86 chars long and is reported.........", """foo bar baz spam egg""",
    "some other string")

$ flake8 foo.py 
foo.py:4:80: E501 line too long (86 > 79 characters)

This is a bug in pycodestyle. Please report it to that project (
https://github.com/pycqa/pycodestyle/issues/new).

@asottile the pycodestyle issue you're referring to is an old issue, the issue persists in flake8. I reported it there in PyCQA/pycodestyle#679 (comment), they said its flake8 specific though...
