Generate more readable code for custom annotations #2895

With PR #2792 we are generating custom annotations for the generated mappers.
The generated code currently looks like:

@CustomAnnotationWithParams(stringArray = "test", stringParam = "test", booleanArray = true, booleanParam = true, byteArray = 16, byteParam = 19, charArray = 'd', charParam = 'a', enumArray = AnnotateWithEnum.EXISTING, enumParam = AnnotateWithEnum.EXISTING, doubleArray = 0.3, doubleParam = 1.2, floatArray = 0.300000011920929f, floatParam = 1.2000000476837158f, intArray = 3, intParam = 1, longArray = 3L, longParam = 1L, shortArray = 3, shortParam = 1)

and

@CustomAnnotationWithParams(stringArray = { "test1", "test2" }, booleanArray = { false, true }, byteArray = { 8, 31 }, charArray = { 'b', 'c' }, doubleArray = { 1.2, 3.4 }, floatArray = { 1.2000000476837158f, 3.4000000953674316f }, intArray = { 12, 34 }, longArray = { 12L, 34L }, shortArray = { 12, 34 }, classArray = { Mapper.class, CustomAnnotationWithParams.class }, stringParam = "required parameter")

Everything is on one line.

I think that things would be more readable if we generate something like:

@CustomAnnotationWithParams(
    stringArray = "test",
    stringParam = "test",
    booleanArray = true,
    booleanParam = true,
    byteArray = 16,
    byteParam = 19,
    charArray = 'd',
    charParam = 'a',
    enumArray = AnnotateWithEnum.EXISTING,
    enumParam = AnnotateWithEnum.EXISTING,
    doubleArray = 0.3,
    doubleParam = 1.2,
    floatArray = 0.300000011920929f,
    floatParam = 1.2000000476837158f,
    intArray = 3,
    intParam = 1,
    longArray = 3L,
    longParam = 1L,
    shortArray = 3,
    shortParam = 1
)

and

@CustomAnnotationWithParams(
    stringArray = { "test1", "test2" },
    booleanArray = { false, true },
    byteArray = { 8, 31 },
    charArray = { 'b', 'c' },
    doubleArray = { 1.2, 3.4 },
    floatArray = { 1.2000000476837158f, 3.4000000953674316f },
    intArray = { 12, 34 },
    longArray = { 12L, 34L },
    shortArray = { 12, 34 },
    classArray = { Mapper.class, CustomAnnotationWithParams.class },
    stringParam = "required parameter"
)

We need to be smarter in the code generation and do not always generate multiple lines.

An annotation with single parameter should look like:

@CustomAnnotationWithParams( stringArray = "test" )

We also need to see how to generate elements with multiple values.
