Prettier, multiline userFilters in settings back up

[MorsMortium]

Prerequisites

• I verified that this is not a filter list issue. Report any issues with filter lists or broken website functionality in the uAssets issue tracker.
• This is NOT a YouTube, Facebook or Twitch report. These sites MUST be reported by clicking their respective links.
• This is not a support issue or a question. For support, questions, or help, visit /r/uBlockOrigin.
• I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue.
• The issue is not present after disabling uBO in the browser.
• I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I am reporting is not normal behavior.

I tried to reproduce the issue when...

• uBO is the only extension.
• uBO uses default lists and settings.
• using a new, unmodified browser profile.

Description

I have my settings txt in a git repo. When exporting it, the userFilters becomes a single escaped line. It makes it very hard to compare the versions.

A specific URL where the issue occurs.

/dashboard.html#settings.html and /dashboard.html#1p-filters.html This is completely in the extension.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Have a multi line filter list in my filters tab
2. Export settings
3. Inspect userFilters field in exported document

Expected behavior

That it keeps the lines separate, for example with userFilters becoming a list with each member being 1 line from the filter lists.

From the My filters pane, you can use the Export... button which will create a text file that has each filter on a separate line.

That could be, but then I'd have to have 2 separate exports

I can convert the "My filters" content to an array at export time.
