diffpkg: allow to set column width for side-by-side view
The magic values `columns` and `auto` allow to set specific aspects, with 'auto' as the default value: - auto: Set width to the maximum line length of all input files - columns: Set width to the shell defined $COLUMNS env var Furthermore any number can be passed to set a static width.
