Implements UnderminersTeam#2144. Adds new "Multiline regex" checkbox to Search in code UI. When the box is checked while doing a regex search, the search is treated as a multiline regular expression (^ and $ match line start and end instead of string start and end). The option is only visible when doing a regex search.

Implements #2144. Adds new "Multiline regex" checkbox to Search in code UI. When the box is checked while doing a regex search, the search is treated as a multiline regular expression (^ and $ match line start and end instead of string start and end). The option is only visible when doing a regex search.
Description
While the Regex search box is unticked, the UI remains the same as before this change:
When Regex search is selected, the new Multiline regex box appears. It's default value is false, which was the behaviour of the regex search before the change:
As an example I search for the third line of "gml_Script_attention_hackerz_no_2" from Undertale to show that it only appears while using a multiline regex:
Caveats
There should be no caveats with the changes in this PR. I have tested multiline regex and it works correctly with and without Case sensitive. Any user who doesn't use regex search is completely uneffected, and those who do use regex search are uneffected unless they tick the new box.
Notes
Issue #2144 Requested multiline regexes in both Search in code (
Ctrl+Shift+F) and the code editor (Ctrl+F), but this PR only adds them to Search in code. I looked at how searching in the code editor works and it is part of avalonEdit and not UTMT. It is already in multiline mode (see https://github.com/icsharpcode/AvalonEdit/blob/862415d51eddc9eac93f462dbc522ffbf929cd52/ICSharpCode.AvalonEdit/Search/SearchStrategyFactory.cs#L37) with no easy way to turn off multiline mode.Closes #2144.
