TextParameterDefinition allows the user to specify that the input field should be a "textarea" rather than a "textinput"

I suspect this was an oversight in James's part to support this standard input type.

Scope

• Add support for TextParameterDefinition so that it shows up as a text area on the input screen.
• Ensure that this also works for Pipeline parameters as well as Pipeline Input

Original Request
The following snippet / Jenkinsfile does currently not work with BlueOcean:

stage('hello') {
  Map feedback = input(submitterParameter: 'submitter', message: "tell me something", parameters: [
    [$class: 'TextParameterDefinition', name: 'text', description: "enter something"]
  ])

  echo "Text: ${feedback.text}"
  echo "Submitter: ${feedback.submitter}"
}

BlueOcean only returns a String with the entered text instead of a Map [text: "..", submitter: ".."] (which in the above code fails with "cannot cast to Map" Exception).

This works with the traditional Jenkins UI.
