repl: Display multi-line strings as heredocs

The console and output formatter previously displayed multi-line strings
with escaped newlines, e.g. `"hello\nworld\n"`. While this is a valid
way to write the HCL string, it is not as common or as readable as using
the heredoc syntax, e.g.

<<EOF
hello
world
EOF

This commit adds heredoc detection and display to this formatter,
including support for indented heredocs for nested multi-line strings.
This change affects the apply, console, and output sub-commands.
