Columnar output for package lists similar to 'ls'

2024-04-12T13:56:56Z

This change makes it a bit easier to quickly grasp the changes about to be performed by apt. It displays package lists in a columnar format by default, similar to what `ls` produces for files. A new long option `--no-list-columns` and an associated `APT::Get::List-Columns` config setting control the behavior. Usage example, with 60 column wide terminal: ``` $ sudo apt upgrade | Reading package lists... Done | Building dependency tree... Done | Reading state information... Done | Calculating upgrade... Done | The following packages were automatically installed and are | no longer required: | libappindicator1 libindicator7 | libdbusmenu-gtk4 linux-image-5.14.0-4-amd64 | Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them. | The following packages have been kept back: | criu linux-headers-amd64 nvidia-settings | libxnvctrl0 nvidia-modprobe xwayland | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgrade| d. | ``` The effect becomes more pronounced with more packages (e.g. when doing a dist-upgrade).
