[PATCH 1/3] Improve appearance of tabular output. |

I noticed when listing installed or available packages that the output
is often pretty jumbled up because columns in each row have an
inconsistent width.
This series of patches adds a new procedure for printing tabular data
(pretty-print-table) and modifies the code for --list-installed,
--list-available, and --list-generations to utilize it.

I've improved it some more and pushed as 01d7e8c278. The performance is
about 5 s on a fast machines to format the 18000 something packages of
the collection, compared to 2 s before (guix package -A), which I think
is OK (but it'd be nice to see Guile opitimize for faster (ice-9
format)!).
Closing.
Thanks to all involved!
Maxim
