csvlook should support string values with new lines #1148

The following is a valid csv file

a,b,c
A,"this is
a multi
line
b", C

but csv look prints this as 

| a | b                      | c  |
| - | ---------------------- | -- |
| A | this is
a multi
line
b |  C |

csvlook should have multiline cells, or (the easier way) escape new lines by displaying them as \n
