Fix crash in Gregminster events (German version)

The German translation has a path through the meeting with Lepant that traps the player into a crash.  If you choose to review the stats of the offered recruits, the option that retruns you to the actual selection dialogue is broken due to the text having too many line breaks.  The fix reformats the text, removing the line breaks.

+; Suikoden II Gregminster Recruiting Crash
+; Written by Pyriel
+;
+; Fixes an issue with the translation that causes a crash during the meeting with Lepant in Gregminster.
+; Two of the three options were extended to a second line in the German text, pushing the choices beyond
+; the size allowed by the game.  When the last option is selected, it returns an option number
+; not allowed by the script, resulting in a crash when no scripting is found to handle the player's
+; choice.
+;
+; Changing the last newline character in the strings to a space fixes the issue, and the text
+; has plenty of space left before it would overflow the right margin of the box.
