Format auto-generated lab save notes to be more readable

The auto-generated lab save notes are commendably brief, taking up the least possible screen real estate. Awesome!

However they are so brief they are hard to actually read.

Who would most benefit from this idea? Lab Developers or Lab Authors
What is the problem you are trying to solve?

Insert a CR/LF before each line item.

A slightly more comprehensive change could be to move the messages around a bit, and allow multiple diff disks on a VMs to be listed with a simple semicolon separator.

Example:

Updated within the lab client

Windows license re-armed on all VMs.

Changes were committed to this lab profile from within the lab client and the following differencing disks were added:

    Thank you for this idea. The notes on the bottom of the VM Profile page is designed for minimal space. Having a view to see the information in a better format is a good idea.
