Choices: Introduce an API to define the value for choices added using a Fast Entry pop-up editor

[JaneSjs]

IMPLEMENTED

Use the onFastEntryFinished event to handle entered text lines the way your require.

import { SurveyCreatorModel } from "survey-creator-core";
const options = { ... };
const creator = new SurveyCreatorModel(options);

creator.onFastEntryFinished.add((_, options) => {
  // `options.lines` - An array of entered text lines
  // `options.items` - An array of choices that were created based on the entered text lines
  options.items[0].text = "Custom display text";
  options.items[0].value = "Custom value";
});

When you use the fast entry editor, you expect to specify the value and text separated by |.

1 | Option-1
2 | Option-2
3 | Option-3
4 | Option-4
5 | Option-5

Choices with a corresponding value and text will be created.

However, if you do not explicitly specify the value attribute, as follows:

Option-1
Option-2
Option-3
Option-4
Option-5

Those strings will be used as values:

In a usage scenario, it's required to use supplied strings as texts and auto-generate ordered numbers for these choices to achieve the following output:

Consider introducing an API which would allow developers to manage auto-generated choices and override their values and texts. For the record: creator.onItemValueAdded is raised only when adding a new choice via the Add New button.
