tdf#131000 fix stuck combo box property editor

If you create a combo box control with a lot of entries, like a
large cell range in Calc, LO will take a long time to render that
cell content into the small, line-height MultiLineEdit (MLE).

This doesn't happen for master, because it contains commit
1efeb17837c22499f00299c033ae59ba3910f7d7 ("weld Property
Browser"), which changed the whole dialog and is much too large
for a backport. A debugger shows LO is stuck in TextEngine::
CreateLines, which is part of the MLE resize call stack. Checking
the master patch, it also replaces the MLE with a mere Edit. And
since editing now always happens in the popup, no functionality
is lost.

So this patch just does just that MLE => Edit replacement for old
releases. This results in a much faster visible / usable property
editor. For the attached test document with 4000 entries, resize
time goes down to 5s instead of minutes.

Fun fact: since you can't actually edit that entry in the example
bug document, because its content depends on Cell data, all the
"work" is basically mood.
