Golang proposal: encoding/csv: add flag to keep \r\n as-is inside quoted records

Proposal Details

The Read() method replaces all the CRLF characters with LF character while reading a csv. This results in unwanted changes in the content. Ex. For input: "\"Apple\r\nBananas\",Oranges" This returns a record: ["Apple\nBananas","Oranges"] When this record is used to write it to an output file it becomes: "\"Apple\nBananas\",Oranges\n"

Proposal: Add a flag in the Reader named "preserveCRLFWithinQuotes" that retains the CRLF characters in the record.
