Summary

#658 fixed #655 (a multiline string built with escape=False whose value starts with a newline got an extra blank line after the opening quotes). The merged fix has no test: with the tomlkit/items.py part of #658 taken out, the whole test suite still passes.

This adds the two cases from #655 to test_create_string, one basic and one literal multiline string. Both fail without the fix and pass with it. #656 (closed in favour of #658) had similar tests; this brings that coverage back on top of the merged fix.

I used Claude Code to run python -m pytest (1226 passed), plus ruff check and ruff format --check on the changed file.

Adds the missing test for #655.

Duplicate Check

• I searched the open PRs and found none that already fixes this issue.
• Related open PRs (if any, and why this PR is still needed): none open. fix: honour escape=False for a leading newline in multiline strings #656 (closed) had tests for the same issue but was closed when Fix regression in String.from_raw and improve documentation #658 was merged without tests.
