fix: use Textarea for plain-text string fields and Switch for booleans

- Replace <Input type="text"> with <Textarea> for plain-text string
  properties in DynamicJsonForm, matching the height and style of
  direct-parameter string inputs in ToolsTab
- Special-format strings (email, uri, date, date-time) keep <Input>
  with their appropriate type attribute
- Boolean fields already used <Switch>; update tests to query
  role="switch" / aria-checked instead of role="checkbox"
- Update test assertions to reflect the textarea element type
