[Bug]: Text file input - unable to read data with line breaks in them

What happened?

(Possible known issue, see #2329)

The Text file input transform can't parse data correctly if there is a line break in them.

In Hop GUI the option to specify this feature is permanently disabled, whilst in Metadata Injection view there is a row labeled Is a break allowed in an enclosure? (Y/N) thats seems to be ignored by Hop.

A workaround would be to use the CSV file input transform, however it only works with plain text files (if they are inside a tar.gz archive you need to uncompress them, see this users ML topic), and also has some other issues (see #4021)
