Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
My application uses `textinput`s with long prompts. The prompts are long because they contain multiple filenames from the user that can get quite long, for example:
```console
$ chezmoi rm ~/.config/git/config
Remove /Users/twp/.config/git/config and /Users/twp/.local/share/chezmoi/home/private_dot_config/git/config.tmpl? yes/no/all/quit
```
`textinput` only displays the prompt up to the width of the terminal, which leads to the prompt being truncated and confusing, for example, with a terminal of width 80:
```console
$ chezmoi rm ~/.config/git/config
Remove /Users/twp/.config/git/config and /Users/twp/.local/share/chezmoi/home/pr
```
**Describe the solution you'd like**
I'd like a boolean option to wrap the prompt over multiple lines, wrapping words (maybe using github.com/muesli/reflow) so you would get the following with a terminal width of 80:
```console
$ chezmoi rm ~/.config/git/config
Remove /Users/twp/.config/git/config and /Users/twp/.local/share/chezmoi/home/
private_dot_config/git/config.tmpl? yes/no/all/quit
```
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Forking `textinput` to add this functionality.
**Additional context**
#417 talks about multiline **text**, this feature request is about a multiline **prompt**.
I would happily submit a PR for this if you are interested.
