Verible formatter linebreak capabilities

[Shaun chua]

Hi there Verible community, 

Is Verible capable to clean up large amount of blank lines? 

I thought that the `line_break_penalty` flag would be helpful here, but couldn't see any significant outcomes.  

Thanks. 

Example Original code:

         // some code 1 

       < 5 new lines between code 1 and 2>

       // some code 2 

Formatted to:

      // some code 1 

   < 1 new lines between code 1 and 2>

   // some code 2

At the moment, formatting preserves vertical spacing.

Some test cases can be found here:

Adjusting vertical spacing is prevalent in other formatters, so it would be reasonable to request this.
