Add line-breaks in image alt text editor (and maybe increase textbox size?) #596

The default Mastodon Web interface lets you use line-breaks in alt text, which is important to maintain clarity when writing/transcribing long alt text, or describing an image with several parts. The Sengi alt text editor doesn’t let us use line-breaks at present; hitting Enter or Shift+Enter publishes the post instead. Because of this, I must open and use the default Web interface if I want to create alt text with line-breaks.

Additionally, but relatedly (especially if line-breaks are added), the alt text editor itself is a bit small, which makes it difficult to see anything longer than a short string of text. Expanding it vertically (either manually by clicking & dragging, or automatically whilst typing) would be very convenient.
