540 Module generator: bug in config.ini file where "\n" is displayed instead of newlines

Now the config.ini file looks like:

##------------------------------------------##
## import statements needed for main module ##
##------------------------------------------##
#--main-import-statements ## e.g., from ... import ... as ...
#from xpsi.global_imports import gravradius
#import math

##------------------------------------------##
## global statements needed for main module ##
##------------------------------------------##
#--main-global-statements ## e.g., global_variable = math.pi
.
