The status line can now be displayed on multiple lines.
You can insert a line break in the 'statusline' option with "%@".
Add 'statuslineopt' option.

Known issue:

Executing CTRL-W_x will disrupt the layout.
Even when I run CTRL-W_=, the window heights often do not become equal.
Sometimes run out of command line space.

Todo:

Write a test.
Bug fixes.
