#3189: g.list: wide format for pretty printing

It would be nice if g.list would allow outputting lines longer than 80
characters, and thus in more than two columns of map names.

This could be either in form of a parameter "nb_columns" which would
default to 2 as currently or in form of a "nb_characters" and the number
of columns would be determine automagically from that.

Or even better: g.list detects the width of the terminal and adjusts
automagically...

[Leaving with Component: Default as we don't have a "General" component.]

Sorry, this is wrong: number of columns is already adjusted automatically,
so it would have to be:

determine automagically from that.
