Use <up> and <down> keys to move point in the multi-line minibuffer.

* lisp/bindings.el (minibuffer-local-map): Rebind [down] from
next-history-element to next-line-or-history-element, and [up]
from previous-history-element to previous-line-or-history-element.

* lisp/simple.el (next-line-or-history-element)
(previous-line-or-history-element): New commands.
