Description
The label widget is currently a single line, which is a serious limitation. #391 was a draft PR to add this, but a more robust solution is to have support for multiline text layouts at the piet level. https://github.com/linebender/piet/pull/103 is a work-in-progress PR to add that. This issue tracks support in druid for when that lands in piet.

Research direction
Start by reading draft PR #391 and the work-in-progress piet PR #103, since this issue depends on multiline text layouts landing there. Confirm the available piet API, then update druid's label widget to use it; done means labels support multiline text in druid.
