Add the final newline.

The checked-in end-of-file-fixer hook applies to this file. The file ends with b'Go back to iddle', without a newline, so the hook will modify it.

In `@autodata_examples/retarget/g1_to_gr1_pick_place.yaml` at line 65, Add a
trailing newline after the final description value in the YAML file so it
satisfies the end-of-file-fixer hook.
