[issue31330] argparse.RawTextHelpFormatter does not maintain lines separated by more than one newline

argparse.RawDescriptionHelpFormatter should not delete blank lines

This provides more details on why this is happening.

I suggest using adding a space between newlines, thus: '\n \n'.  HelpFormatter.format_help is just looking for '\n\n'.
