Add preferences widget 'PrefMultiEntry'

This is a multiline text input, similar to 'PrefEntry'

Newlines characters in the multiline input will be converted to '|'
in the saved preference. This is because the XML parser will convert
real newline characters to spaces when reading the preferences file
the next time.
