(font-lock-multiline): New variable.
(font-lock-add-keywords): Rename `major-mode' into `mode'.
(font-lock-remove-keywords): Added a dummy `mode' argument for
potential future support.
(font-lock-fontify-anchored-keywords,
(font-lock-fontify-keywords-region): Only handle multiline strings
if necessary (avoids a pathological behavior in (f.ex) diff-mode).
