The use of the echo shell built-in has been actively discouraged for a long time, but it's really convenient so we keep doing it. This converts them all to use printf appropriately such that we avoid issues like echo "$someVar" from doing the wrong thing if $someVar is -n or similar.

Closes #1023

docker-library#1024 converted all `echo` calls to `printf`, but this change causes the password file used by `initdb` to be blank rather than contain a single new line. As a result, `initdb` will fail to start with an empty value with the error: ``` initdb: error: password file "/dev/fd/63" is empty ``` `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` can be blank if `POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust` is used. This change adds a newline to restore the original behavior. Closes docker-library#1025
