Multi-line input and label fields #4

Description

@Lmpessoa

There are situations where a single line field is not enough to contain the data needed to capture (input) or display. Currently, one can achieve fields spanning multiple lines by actually adding and coordinating multiple fields to a map.

In order to support multi-line fields, it will be necessary to change the syntax of fields to support multiple lines. That syntax might only be supported by regular input fields (type INP) and regular read-only fields (type ROT) and would be as follows:

¬Label:ROT[40:5]
             ^^

The given syntax shall make it obvious (to those already familiar with the map syntax) that multi-line fields will not support masks or initialisation values. Only those fields might capture the ENTER key and support line breaks but existing fields might benefit from this change in behaviour to fix support for setting string values that contain line breaks.
