Columnar output for package lists similar to 'ls'
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).
