Known Issue Of:
3.2

 Description   

When using environment variables with newlines, for instance JAVA_OPTS, then the eval command in the generated application script fails.

Expected Behavior
I would expect Java application to start when executing the script.

Current Behavior
The application script fails at eval with:
```
build/install/myapp/application/bin/myapp: eval: line 2: -Xms400m: not found
build/install/myapp/application/bin/myapp: eval: line 3: -Xmx400m: not found
build/install/myapp/application/bin/myapp: eval: line 4: -classpath: not found
Usage: java [-options] class [args...]
(to execute a class)
or java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...]
(to execute a jar file)
[...]
```

Fails with exit code 1

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

```bash
$ ./gradlew installDist
$ export JAVA_OPTS="
-Xms400m
-Xmx400m
"
$ ./build/install/myapp/application/bin/myapp
```

Your Environment
```bash
$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_92"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_92-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.92-b14, mixed mode)
```

```bash
$ ./gradlew -v
