UserInput: Use a dialog box to define variables

Add a complex input dialog box to the automation script.

UserInput interrupts automation with a dialog pop-up where the input fields are constructed using the Variable sub-actions.
Upon clicking Cancel, automation stops.
Upon clicking OK, one SetVar action is generated for each Variable sub-action and the automation resumes.

SetVar names are set using the Name attribute value of each Variable sub-action. The values depend on the corresponding input fields in the dialog.
