gofmt -r does not work well when rewriting multi-line expressions.

Given this code:

package x

func f() {
	Foo{
		X: 99,
		Y: "hello",
	}
}

running:

gofmt -r 'Foo{X: a, Y: b} -> Foo{
    X: a,
    Y: []byte(b),
}'

results in:

package x

func f() {
	Foo{X: 99, Y: []byte(

		"hello")}

}

In general, if the replacement expression contains multiple lines, their
placement is ignored.
