Text: Add support for limiting the number of logical lines

[tronical]

Feature Description

It would be useful if the Text element had a way of limiting the number of visible lines, regardless of how many the source text produces.

Product Impact

One question that's open to me is: Should a max-lines property apply to visible lines or logical lines?

I'm leaning towards the former, so it's a visual property. It means that Text { text: "very long line long long long\nnext"; max-lines: 1; might end up showing only a part of very long line.

(This might be a silly thing to ask in the first please, so apologies if this is obvious :)

Agree with visible 😁

I've got one more question here. Suppose the following example:

export component Demo {
    VerticalLayout {
        alignment: start;
        Text {
            text: "Hello\nWorld!";
            max-lines: 1;
        }
        Text {
            text: "Second text";
        }
    }
}

This with the max-lines enabled, this could either render as the one or the other - ascii art alert:

Hello

Second text

or

Hello
Second Text

Which one would you expect to be correct?
