make print_dict split strings with newlines into multiple rows

Browse Source 
When printing a dict e.g. "nova show" one of the properties
is "fault". When the user is admin, "details" of the fault
is shown, which includes a backtrace. This causes the
printing of the table to be unreadable as the backtrace
overflows the table row. This patch adds a separate row
for each substring after splitting on newlines.
