server.py: don't send partial hostwatch lists.

If hostwatch has a lot of stuff to say all at once, it would come in more
than one recv() packet, and server.py would send each packet individually as
a CMD_HOST_LIST message.  Unfortunately, client.py (rightly) expects each
CMD_HOST_LIST message to be complete, ie. a correct sequence of rows.

So now server.py makes sure of this.  If there's a leftover bit (ie. an
unterminated line), it saves it for later.

Bug reported by user "Duke" on the mailing list.
