[DevTools Bug]: Newline in component key string will look odd in component tree

Repro steps

Create an element with a key like Foo\n\n\n\nBar\n\n\n\nBaz and it will occupy multiple lines in the component tab.

<div className='App'>
  <h1 key="0-hello\nworld\nfoo\nbar\nbaz">Hello React.</h1>
  <h1 key="1-hello\nworld\nfoo\nbar\nbaz">Hello React.</h1>
</div>

Here's a screenshot:

Background: I've worked on a syntax-highlighter which adds a for each section of text that's colored differently.
As key, I use the index of the element, it's format name and the actual content of the element.
The content can contain whitespaces or blank lines. It can also be very long strings.

Looks like a good first-time issue for React DevTools: key should be sanitized before displaying in component tree
