Adds a new Preferences struct to the config, initially only containing Editor: bool (default false).
This struct will be serialized to configs once there is a first tea induced change to the config (eg tea login default <name> or tea login add).
Use external editor for all multiline prompts if preferred.

We already had a function for starting a texteditor for diff reviews; it does not really make sense to replace it with survey.Editor, as there is a big interface mismatch: survey expects strings as inputs, while our diff functions operate on files,

fixes #424
