Multiline Profile property does not "render" breaks on user profile page

Description of problem

When you set a Profile property field to “Multi Line Text” and you add this to the user profile page the entered breaks are not visible.

Description of solution

IMO we should replace “\n” with “
”, so the entered breaks are visible when shown in the profile. I know this is a change, but if we don’t change this, what’s the use of the “Multi-Line Text” type…?

As all properties seem to be handled here: https://github.com/dnnsoftware/Dnn.Platform/blob/34a5a5582c394d45e76baec656ada86d3078453c/DNN Platform/Library/Entities/Users/Profile/ProfilePropertyAccess.cs#L193

I would suggest to add an option for “Multi-Line Text” in there and add a .Replace(“\n”, “
”).

Reproduce.

1. Set a profile property (Biography) to “Multi Line Text”

1. Edit a user profile and add this text as Biography.

Test1
Test2
Test3

1. Visit the User Profile page of that user.
2. Edit the “ViewProfile” module’s Template and add: [PROFILE:BIOGRAPHY]
3. After the page has reloaded you will see that the entered breaks are not shown. (as obviously “\n” is not a break in HTML)

Yeah I can reproduce in 9.10.1
