Newline should be added after "\n" in test data about ride HOT 6 CLOSED

The main focus of 0.13 release is enhancing support for variables. These
our out of the scope.

The original documentation isn't that clear so I clarify it here. The idea is that if
test data has a literal '\n', a newline is added after it automatically. This should
be done both when the data is shown in the UI and when it is written into file, and
applied both for keyword arguments and settings like documentation.

For example, instead of having

Hello\nworld!

there should be

Hello\n
world!

I pumped into propably this same issue when creating test data with RIDE ?
I created:
first test [Documentation] | first row\n2nd row
second test [Documentation] | first row\n\n2nd row
third test [Documentation] | first row
2ndrow

And none of them worked. All of them was created with Robot IDE and it just shows the
\n literals in two first ones. No new lines to outline documentation more better.
Third one, when created looks nice in RIDE, but when opening created tsv file again
"2ndrow" is interpreted as keyword :-)

Is this caused by this same issue or is this new one. I have tens of keywords which
I'm creating dynamically with python into tsv file, as a template for users to edit
them and documentation for each keyword is wuite long and I want to outline it more
clearly with linefeeds.

A partial (at least) solution is committed in r346.
This works by inserting <br> after each newline, both when shown in IDE or serialized.

I am not quite sure is there a way to support this in tsv?

This cannot be done in TSV when it is saved because our parser expects real newlines
always to be row separators. But newline should be shown after \n in the UI
regardless the data format.

Well, this issue is then done.
